I solved Semantle #221 in 124 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.70. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #51. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.16 (128/1000). semantle.com/

Really hard to crack greens today and when I did I got 712 which was no use whatsoever. Basically I had to do another hunt for a green!

I had the wrong type of 998 for ages (ie the one that tied in with all my other greens). I was thinking too American for once. It's a British kind of 998.

I also got that pretty much out of nowhere - was nearly put off by 596 being so low. I would think they are pretty good synonyms.

Got 946 on my first so really should have done better!

@InMySpareTime I did exactly the same with 998! It was only when I saw your comment I tried a completely different track and got it in 3!

That was a bit of a weird one. And I have no idea why 996 is in that list!

Confused My first green was 959 at guess 14, I thought it would be easy from there. I was wrong.

Frustrating for a while , had a break and then got a lightbulb moment about what connected my many words.

Had lots of greens that felt like they were going in one direction but needed to shift slightly to get the answer.

That was a frustrating one for me - put off by low words that I would think would be much higher.
