Got today's, #37, in 47 guesses, by a very similar route to the one from a few days ago where the answer was "bat." First time I've seen semantle sort-of repeat itself.

I solved Semantle #37 in 41 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -0.03. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 7.44. https://semantle.novalis.org/
It's definitely going through a more forgiving phase at the moment - I dare not assume I am getting better at it.

158 guesses this time - my approach of spamming the keyboard with obviously irrelevant words while I think is ugly... and has not triggered a path to success yet. But by god I'm going to keep doing it.

i got my second guess in the green because i typo'd the word i really meant to try and then took forever to figure it out, i think i have reached the peak of my ability here

I got this one in 20. Kind of dumb luck because my nearest guess was “cold” - although to me it didn’t seem cold once I knew what the word was.

Fluked it in 15. Which is fortunate as I have a ton of work to get through.

I seem to do best when I shut off my brain and just flail around at random with words.

I solved Semantle #37 in 48 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 23.73 (494/1000).My penultimate guess had a similarity of 40.69.
first guess was home and the closest opening guess I've made yet. The penultimate guess was a typo where I got two letters the wrong way round of the secret word and the first time I've noticed you get a score for misspellings that are very similar.

Stuck on 982 ball for a while, the 'give it a rest and try again later' strategy really helped here, even just for 5 or 10 minutes.

I only had one guess in the 900s and after continent, zone, center didn't get me there, I backed out and went range>pasture>the word in three guesses. There are a lot of paths with this word.

I just like typing in words too much. My penultimate guess was 'dodecahedron' just because I wanted to type that in (not hidden because I can't really see that being a spoiler for any reason).

I solved Semantle #37 in 116 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 16.65. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #24 with “season”, which came up when I was heaving moderate success with (northern hemisphere) climate- and geology-related words, which got me as far as “tundra” at 629 and “circle” (as in polar —) at 811 (at guess #74). I guess I could have explored things from the sports angle early on from “season”, but we just had a sports-related word recently, so I thought nah, I’m good. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 44.26 (996/1000). Even though this was a bit of a rough one for me, it took several rounds across the day to get there, I like that I seem to get them in the end no matter what now. Knock on wood.

I find the "figuring out the jump" the hardest, because I almost always hit words that are in the 15-20% range long before I get any greens, and obviously finding similar words to those in the 15-20% are just going to have you endlessly finding other 15-20% words.
yesterday I started to get better at that, like thinking of other words that might be related to that grouping of words that aren't really synonyms and trying some of those out instead. each time I get int he green I can't figure out how my brain made the leap, but it does.
― i read to 69 position (Neanderthal), Monday, 7 March 2022 22:32 (two years ago) link
I just like typing in words too much
this is my problem. my impulse is to just try a million words and go wherever free association takes me, even if those words aren't really hits. and trying every variation of a word and close synonyms even if they aren't really hits.
and then i wonder why it always takes me 100+ tries. though i think i'm also just really bad at free associating to a wide array of concepts. i latch onto things
― ✖, Monday, 7 March 2022 23:22 (two years ago) link
