I solved Semantle #224 in 34 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.85. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #14. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 6.05. https://semantle.com/
@BIWI when I got it I had to remind myself I should think American and would have got it a bit quicker!

Well done @LadyOfTheCanyon and @ThePurpleGirl

Mine wasn't too bad today compared to the last week where I gave up a couple of times.

ThePurpleGirl · 10/09/2022 23:26

@JaneJeffer thanks - it was balanced out by a terrible Cemantle performance today 😆

LadyOfTheCanyon · 11/09/2022 02:46

Oh well, my triumph of yesterday was short lived!

Had to resort to the reddit sub in the end - two hints from Semantle were absolutely useless and took me completely in the wrong direction - was given 1/1000 and 250/1000 Confused

A hideous crawl through the greens. Stuck repeatedly in the 990s. I hate these words.

I took 4 hints as I was stuck and couldn't be bothered as I'm tired 😆

JaneJeffer · 11/09/2022 22:59

Took some hints because I was bored to tears with it 💤 hints were terrible

My best in a long while - had an early high green and didn't go down a big rabbbit hole for a change.

Good day today! One of my starter words got me to a series of tepid words, which weren't - in the end - anything actually to do with the secret word, but a bit of lateral thinking got me there.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 13/09/2022 06:06

Two completely different routes to the top today - I was really surprised when I saw the list as I managed to get there without touching on the other route at all.
Be interesting to see which route everyone went!

I solved Semantle #227 in 117 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 10.55. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #29. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 9.83. semantle.com/

Yep, I totally missed the other route, despite my early greens indicating it.
I shouldn't do these things before I've had breakfast.

I solved Semantle #227 in 357 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 0.02. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 19.35. semantle.com/

I also went entirely down one route, and not the one I'd think of first from the target word.

Definitely not the most obvious route! Some excellent words relating to my track very high up - so, so random.
