Semantle: Can you think like a computer?

got today's and Thursday's in 85 & 98, gave up on yesterday's after 100 guesses, though it was easily gettable.

luckily art is one of my starter words, it was a short hop from there.

solved it in 7, but that’s because I read anagram’s hidden text by mistake

I solved Semantle #120 in 32 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.39. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #15. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 61.72 (981/1000).

Bit painful this one.

wow! I solved Semantle #122 in 16 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.62. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 55.30 (998/1000). I just ran the first song title that came to mind through the word grinder after the first few failed guesses; it happened to be “I Want To Know What Love Is” - and the rest is history!

I solved Semantle #123 in 31 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -2.86. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #16. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 50.14 (992/1000).

I got yesterday's in 44 even though love was my first guess. today's in 19! seemed like it was something physical not abstract so i basically went house, brick, stone, build... bingo!

I solved Semantle #123 in 6 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 20.91. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 50.14 (992/1000). https://semantle.com/

2nd pb!

my pb wont be bettered unfortunately as the answer was my starting word lol

looks like for some reason they've changed it halfway through the day?

"We changed Puzzle #123 after it went live. Thus, you might have had a different word than someone else, and some similarity scores might be intermingled. Our apologies. This should not happen again!"

I solved Semantle #123 in 55 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -2.89. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #17. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 29.62 (600/1000). https://semantle.com/

yeah, it was originally 'rifle' but that got pulled after like an hour when people pointed out the sensitivity

xp

Got it in 38 after hitting a 993/1000 word somewhat randomly.

Got #124 in 61 guesses. I knew it was some sort of receptacle from guess 10 or so, but then took another 40 guesses to nail it.

three good days in a row (28, 17, 35) - feels weird, like I’m not playing semantle unless I’m busy yelling at my phone after 100 cold guesses

I solved Semantle #124 in 24 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 31.58 (628/1000). My penultimate guess had a similarity of 23.49.

#123 in 18 guesses word was related to my job

#124 in 78 guesses guessed a lot of words related to domesticity and water, because those are related to my job

I'll be interested to see if anyone gets #125 without any hints, because I certainly couldn't have (125 guesses, but with 2 hints so cheating).

lol I gave up… nature is healing etc

I solved Semantle #125 in 82 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.62. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #44. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 54.24 (998/1000).

no hints used, realised what kind of word we were looking for when I got "you" at #65 but it still took me another 17 guesses to land on the right word.

I got it in 124, had #980 'like' at guess 2 but that wasn't much help - by about guess 50 and 20 random greens I figured it wasn't yer typical verb/noun/adjective, and even started guessing pronouns but 'like' remained stubbornly at the top and 'mine' wasn't even green - because of the other meaning I suppose - so I didn't go through them all straight away.

plenty of high greens here, can't seem to crack post 950 though

I solved Semantle #126 in 8 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 41.61 (856/1000). My penultimate guess had a similarity of 26.49. https://semantle.com/

quick one again. first guess was champagne

I solved Semantle #126 in 41 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.12. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #25. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 53.62 (995/1000).

I solved Semantle #126 in 27 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 23.06. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #23. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 37.71 (616/1000).

Trying to establish a good set of first guesses, at the moment I'm going for things like water, earth, art, move

My opening moves vary but are usually something like car, city, person, strategy, happy, military, politics, ball... with the idea of nailing down early what part of speech, whether we're talking about something abstract or concrete, and covering some of the obvious domains. Doesn't always work, but today's was relatively straightforward, got it on 38

I solved Semantle #127 in 93 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 0.84. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #82. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 37.67 (893/1000).

took me ages to get into the greens today but once I had this was straightforward

Other way round for me, Joni M. Lots of greens to do with touching, tickling, etc, before I got it.

I solved Semantle #127 in 81 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.80. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #27. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 17.36.

I solved Semantle #127 in 88 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.17. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #5. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 54.31 (990/1000). https://semantle.com/

Got a bit sidetracked with cooking terms for a while as my first few greens were burn, overcook, overdo and skewer

I solved Semantle #127 in 59 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 14.30. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #52. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 8.97.

Starting to get back into it after I shared with a friend who's keen! Got lucky with this one, no clue taken.

Got it in 102 but I did get a cheating hint, which was interesting in itself: it was 'piss', which at least put me in the direction of a bodily function and I got it soon after

I solved Semantle #127 in 39 guesses. Got there via “thought”>”think” into “ponder” (first green at #13) and “ruminate” (926 at #24). Stayed on the figurative track instead of going straight for the bodily/physical, but that brought me the solution anyway.

56: once I got green with eat I got it in four. yesterday's: can I think of a material which isn't plastic or wood or metal and might be used in construction? apparently not! Well I guess there were a lot of distractions that day.

Got #128 in 21 guesses - I think the first time I've got in the green with my first guess which was 'car'. Then 'passenger' in the 900s and I got it soon after.

I solved Semantle #128 in 25 guesses. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11, with “job” (341), after “work” at #10 had scored -0.84 - ah, those adorable “quirks” of Semantle! “office” and “chair” took me where I needed to be.

Man, I am struggling with #128 for some reason. 150 guesses and only two very, very low greens which haven't proved helpful thus far.

yeah i had to get hints for this one, some of which were not at all useful.

I solved Semantle #128 in 243 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.09. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #112. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 24.85 (643/1000). https://semantle.com/

Yeah, that was ugly and required two hints. Got lost in a major detour when "purse" and "briefcase" got me relatively high greens and went down that path far too long.

Got it in 150. My stupid detour was incumbent, candidate, reelection stuff, which did help in the end, but completely distracted me initially.

I solved Semantle #129 in 140 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.63. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #39. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 54.12 (996/1000).

Went through tons of nouns and verbs to do with water and weather before I got there!

109, had ice at 74 so a bit slow here too.

I solved Semantle #131 in 150 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.33. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #100. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.45.

another nightmare, didn't even get into the green until #100

103. Took me ages to get green too but once I did, it was relatively quick

over 300 guesses yesterday and gave up after 150 today, mojo = gone. got stuck on synonyms for bizarre.
