I solved Semantle #94 in 93 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -2.40. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 17.46.
was mainly thinking about receptions, entrance halls in public and residential buildings and "tent" sent me in the right direction.

Took be 134 to get a green yesterday and another few dozen to get the answer; got my first green in 34 today but it was completely misleading and i eventually solved it in 329, after a hint at 293! my first green was machine which led nowhere, after a while it looked like it was leaning towards recording technology (with a side helping of office equipment), if i'd brainstormed things you might find in a recording studio i might have got it, but the hint of 'aisles' set me on the right track.

After yesterday’s drudge this was a breeze. First green was lunch, soon became clear it wasn’t directly food related so thought of things which occur when having lunch and moved quickly from there.

42. Basically the same as lots of other people here - got on the right track fairly fast but had to go through an entire family tree to hit the right word.

second guess "woman" again because why not... 751. then "man" which was only 302, so some more womanly words... aunt/womanly/female/girl, none of which hit. "person" was 607. so switch to professions. "lawyer" is always one of my first guesses. that was 909 so i tried legislator. i'm never going to have this luck again

Yeah this was turning out like yesterday (after 70 guesses I had 998, 997, 996, 994) so I turned to the thesaurus :/ I'm not sure I'd have come up with it myself, it doesn't strike me as a common word at all - maybe more so in the US?

It helps when you get 998 with guess #6.

Got #96 in 40! Unusually good showing for me. 8 guesses, PBKR, wow! I thought this would be a hard one because the word is kind of unusual even in the US and if you went through a mental list of elected officials like I did I'd think the word would often be missed.

Yeah I gave up as well after 200-odd guesses and a hint. And I'm not sure I'd have guessed it had I persevered. I think adverbs are inherently more difficult than other parts of speech in this game.

this was hard! After over a hundred cold guesses and very low greens, I started randomly punching in words without thinking too hard and got lucky with “seldom” and “sometimes” which put me on the right path. Needed a thesaurus to get past 999/1000 though.

I thesaurus cheated after 224, which is as bad as giving up imo. I guess I might have got it if i'd continued to wrack my brain to think of another word for the same thing I'd already thought of twenty words for.
