Semantle: Can you think like a computer?

Cute.

Indeed!

I solved Semantle #100 in 2 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 32.55 (947/1000). My penultimate guess had a similarity of 32.55 (947/1000).

Had a hunch, went with it and it paid off.

Whoa, nice!

Meanwhile, I struggled today - finally got it in 209. Same as others, I was stuck on history, empire, nation, etc and "times" was very low-scoring so it took me a while to try a different variation ("era").

Got #101 in 102 guesses, but only by getting a couple of hints, which I regard as cheating. After the easy run yesterday, back to the nightmare, basically.

I solved Semantle #101 in 44 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.82. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #24. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 21.79. https://semantle.com/

“exercise” was a high cold but tried “rights” after “workout” and “gym” came back lower, and that set me on the correct path

Couldn't get this one, think I've lost my mojo.

Got #102 in 32 guesses, best effort in a while. Got in the high greens early with 'politics' and riffed from there.

I solved Semantle #102 in 95 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 18.08. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #16. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 35.05 (850/1000). https://semantle.com/

Got #102 in 25! Basically was very lucky to randomly guess imbroglio at #11 and from there it was just working my way up the green ladder.

14. :) ”politics” was my fourth guess.

I solved Semantle #102 in 69 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 11.16. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #7. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 3.27.

politics was my seventh guess but I didn't think to try the target word for another sixty-odd guesses after that.

Should have got it earlier as was into the greens quickly.

Embarrassing. Had vote, candidate, election and everything else political, then got sidetracked into every synonym for conflict, war, disagreement, etc. etc..

Got it in 22. 'Space' was a high cold, hit green with 'rocket', then airplane - flight - FOUND!

I got #103 in 81 guesses (hey that is good for me ok) ... was lucky because i start with random words that pop into my head from recent conversations and emails and my coworker was telling me about a friend of his that was going on a solo sailing trip

197. Took way too long to get past flight, pretty much guessed every other aviation-related word

Hit a middling green with air early on which took me to aircraft and flight in short order.

51. Much the same trajectory as ZZ except I tried a few more plane and flight related words, then thought of the answer, then thought 'nah it can't be that'. luckily i tried it anyway.

I solved Semantle #103 in 33 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 30.46 (826/1000). My penultimate guess had a similarity of 59.36 (997/1000).

my 1st green was 'crew', followed by 'cabin' so it was a question of whether I focus on boats or planes. Went the right way.

Didn't get past move for the longest time.

53 today. Went into the top words because I wanted to see if there were any related to the meaning of the word indicating the corridor bit at the top of stairs. There were not, as far as I could see, which led me to question if that's even a thing in American English? Do you guys call it something else? I mean, obviously it could just be that it is a much 'lesser' meaning, but I am curious now.

yeah i was curious too, stairs is fairly high but not green.

the meaning of the word indicating the corridor bit at the top of stairs. There were not, as far as I could see, which led me to question if that's even a thing in American English?

yes, that's what we call it in American English ... at least in my line of work, which deals with such things regularly

Had soccer on guess #5 and tournament on guess #26, but didn't think of the target word for another 37 guesses after that.

35, despite getting #998 on guess 2.

been too busy to do this for a few days, that felt like an *easy* one.

Got #105 in 133 guesses. No hints, but did resort to a thesaurus, and probably wouldn't have got it otherwise. Eventually narrowed it down to something you wear on your head/face, was stuck on 995/1000 (sunglasses) for an age.

Had windshield/windscreenat 80 and 81, so should have gotten it sooner.

Enjoyed that one. 1st green was 'glass'

179 guesses -- no hints, no thesaurus -- i figured it was some sort of protective garment or term related to such things about 90 guesses in after getting in the green for "knee," "ankle" "wrist" and "shoulder" earlier on

238 guesses, up to 100 my only greens were carve and chisel, another 80 to luck into stab.

Weird one - solved in 81 guesses with no greens, think that’s the first time that’s happened. my highest guess was “stitch” at 30.39
