Semantle: Can you think like a computer?

Got it in 32. My first guess was in the green, which I don't think has happened before.

I solved Semantle #59 in 206 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -4.45. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #7. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 20.39.

First time getting 1/1000.

Toughest one in a while now!

I solved Semantle #59 in 232 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 32.45 (720/1000).My penultimate guess had a similarity of 9.94.
many of you have stressed the importance of using antonyms, but I have never felt it applied to my efforts. Until today! I had so many greens with the likes of 'drop', 'fall', 'spiraling' etc. My penultimate guess was 'hover'.

I solved Semantle #59 in 82 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -1.62. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #47. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.58. https://semantle.novalis.org/

Glad to be under 100 guesses again - past few days have been tough for me

I solved Semantle #59 in 97 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.85. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #17. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 29.00 (511/1000). https://semantle.novalis.org/

Wow that came out of the blue, was fully expecting to carry on well into the 100s. Was stuck with tumble, fall, drop as my highest guesses - some seriously misleading rankings imo, e.g. fly, glide should be much higher.

good call about antonyms gg, though that was not my explicit thinking.

I solved Semantle #59 in 37 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.14. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #21. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 49.94 (976/1000). https://semantle.novalis.org/

Build is one of my standard early words, which lead to increase and it was just refinement from there.

19! My god! One of my early guesses is often cat, because I like cats, and I went from there to claws -> wings -> fly -> target word, easy as pie.

once again i have opened the game for the first time in a while and once again i have accidentally stumbled upon the correct answer on guess 5. guesses 3 and 4 were 'choose' (not close) and 'fly' (weirdly barely in the top 1000), but i figured i'd try a similar verb to see how it went (my 6th guess was going to be insect).

where's the thing that you are all copy-pasting when you complete it?

oh nvm i found it.

lots of red herrings today, fun
106 in the end

I solved Semantle #60 in 87 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 18.34. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.44. https://semantle.novalis.org/

Found this difficult but satisfying. Somewhat annoyingly I had “principal” as one of my much earlier guesses!

Did in 78 guesses. A bit of a slog though, as I hit a green in the 700s on my second guess.

I got #60 in 65 guesses -- hit the 900s twice in the first 20 guesses; because of the annoying thing with plurals and verb tenses being not necessarily close to the word, I definitely "wasted" some guesses

I solved Semantle #60 in 177 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.66. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #57. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 48.34 (981/1000).

I needed some help. More like "synonymle" am I right.

woo! sheer luck though - ”philosophy” is one of my favourite starter words, a couple of quick jumps from there to the solution

I solved Semantle #60 in 21 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.52. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6.

Hit on the answer after plenty of greens relating to religion and the law.

Probably should have had it about 10 guesses earlier. I had nearly the entire top 10 but didn't think of the most obvious one.

I solved Semantle #60 in 48 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 18.34. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #18. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 7.89. https://semantle.novalis.org/

logic at guess 18 then philosophy (sometimes but not always one of my usual starters too) then messing about in that area before trying the non academic meaning.

Took so long to get in the top 1000 I nearly gave up.

I solved Semantle #61 in 104 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.24. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #22 with ‘government’My penultimate guess had a similarity of 50.54 (949/1000). https://semantle.novalis.org/

Coulda got there quicker I guess but still (mostly) enjoyed the journey.

Got it in 71 guesses. My first green was the same as yours and it should have been a quick ride from there, instead I floundered for another 50 guesses

I solved Semantle #61 in 115 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 13.57. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #52. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 86.44 (999/1000). https://semantle.novalis.org/

I got #61 in 111 guesses -- my coldest guess was hot lol

I solved Semantle #61 in 94 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 10.08. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 13.27. My first green was 'dignity' and it took quite another 19 guesses before I hit on my next: 'society'. A lot of time was then wasted with guesses about cities, neighbourhoods etc followed.

I solved Semantle #61 in 64 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.37. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #26. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 51.70 (960/1000). https://semantle.novalis.org/

First green was moral, took me a while to get to politics then short work from there.

I solved Semantle #61 in 167 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.25. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #58. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 86.44 (999/1000).

another nightmare

I don't think I'm cut out for this game. It took me 58 guesses just to get a low green and it took me another 70 guesses to get my second green. I got election on guess #129 but I didn't think of the target word for another 38 guesses after that!

I solved Semantle #61 in 27 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.89. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #15. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 28.82. https://semantle.novalis.org/

I think this my best yet. Got to 999 in 16 but faffed around instead of going for the obvious one.

I solved Semantle #61 in 99 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 13.27. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #23. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 37.34 (395/1000). https://semantle.novalis.org/

I had another form of the word at 26 - oh well.

89 today, about 177 yesterday. Today's was more about slightly shifting the concepts each time until I honed it down, yesterday was a massive "every synonym except the right one" frenzy.

I solved Semantle #61 in 11 guesses.

having 'politics' as a starter word pays off sometimes

Eventually gave up on #62, despite getting a million greens. I'm not sure I would have ever got it though now I know what it is

I solved Semantle #62 in 69 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.42. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #7. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 16.62. https://semantle.novalis.org/

should've been faster considering I had 995 at guess #18. needed 993 to make the right leap to the target word.

I solved Semantle #62 in 55 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.74. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #14. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 27.04 (716/1000). https://semantle.novalis.org/

I was stuck with a highest guess of ‘conclude’ (479) for ages, then consulted a co-worker who has previously been a Semantle sceptic - she suggested ‘introduce’ (493) and it was a hop, skip and a jump from there! i think that this will leave her more favourably disposed towards co-Semantle efforts in future

Gave up on #62, after just 84 guesses. I don't normally give up that soon. Like Zelda Zonk, I doubt I would have ever have got it given the direction my guesses were going.

I solved Semantle #62 in 105 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.14. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #43. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 23.29 (89/1000).

I had introduce on guess #54 but it still took me another 50 guesses to get from there to the target word!

might have to give up, stuck on 984/1000 after 150 guesses and thesaurus ain't helping.

I solved Semantle #62 in 32 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.34. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #28. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 21.30. https://semantle.novalis.org/

Got this one almost out of nowhere after two greens.

found it in 161 with direct thesaurus help so a false victory. don't think i would have got it without completely changing paradigms.

though i don't know what i would have changed to as gift and now are both cold.

lol, 15. Almost entirely a fluke, most of those guesses were massively cold, then a low green gave it to me in two more guesses.

thanks to ledge's hints i got it in 203 guesses ... after having high greens with guesses #2 and #7 confront and meetlol ...

I solved Semantle #62 in 139 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.17. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #17. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 12.81.

Time was running out, but I'm glad I stuck with it (after having 994/1000 at guess 39).

#63 -- i am stuck
