I solved Semantle #411 in 57 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.32. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 40.55 (975/1000). semantle.com/

Slow but steady today

ApolloandDaphne · 16/03/2023 08:30

I have ALL the synonyms right up to 999 and cannot find the actual word!

chocolateavocado · 16/03/2023 09:09

@ApolloandDaphne have you found it yet? It is a synonym of the top 9.

Nope. I have many words but somehow the target word is eluding me.

ApolloandDaphne · 16/03/2023 11:32

If you can maybe tell me of any of these words start with the same letter it might help me?

@ApolloandDaphne 991 starts and ends with the same letters as TARGET

That was frustrating as I got in to the theme quite quickly and should have got there quicker. But at least it wasn't hundreds of guesses.

Similar to @chocolateavocado I was in the ballpark quickly but then didn’t get there for too long.

I haven’t posted for a couple of days as they’ve both been multiple hundreds that I ended up getting at 11pm at the end of my tether! Not enjoyable at all and by the time I made it I wanted nothing more to do with it.

I was going nowhere fast.

chocolateavocado · 18/03/2023 13:07

@Willmafrockfit

I'm struggling to think of something to help. It's a simple word. And it is I suppose a synonym for your top word - although it is not a synonym on word hippo. You might use 994 before the word.

My words didn't have much to do with it and I really only got it as something that can follow 704.

Willmafrockfit · 18/03/2023 15:16

thanks very much @chocolateavocado

InMySpareTime · 18/03/2023 17:27

Aaargh, I got 999 at guess 26 and now 50 more guesses I still haven't got the target.
I have
999
990
985
976
865
And some lower greens.
Are any of those words similar or even the right length or first letter? I'm baffled.

@InMySpareTime

Expand a little on 999

I gave up on Semantle today.... then when the answer was revealed, I kicked myself!

Willmafrockfit · 18/03/2023 18:24

i only ever use the word after 704,
so that was interesting.
