I solved Semantle #106 in 30 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.33. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #16. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 25.80. https://semantle.com/

I kind of got this one out of the blue. First one in a while feels like.

Got #107 in 70 guesses. Fairly straightforward run there: into the greens with space, then scope, then free - which eventually led to unrestricted - restricted - FOUND!

114, 'huge' and all related words, then 'infinite', 'finite', bingo.

I solved Semantle #108 in 186 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 0.84. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #7. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 0.87. https://semantle.com/ - took me to 150 to get past eat and meat in the low 100s.

I solved Semantle #108 in 133 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.12. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #19. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 12.16.

just firing words out of the thesaurus, hit stick and got to the target word straight from there.

i got #108 in 72 guesses! Very uncharacteristic! I had "meat" and "athletic" as the two closest guesses to the word -- #52 and #58 -- and I tried words that could be related to both of these

I solved Semantle #108 in 109 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.97. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #69. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 19.43.
'stagger' was the crucial green for me.

leaning toward giving up

drunk and inebriated in the greens, lead nowhere until I tried tipsy and amorous... nowhere then the hint was persnickety - are we getting words from my great-grandmother's diary?

I solved Semantle #109 in 63 guesses with 2 hints. My first guess had a similarity of 14.33. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #59. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 34.06 (298/1000). https://semantle.com/

the more time i commit to redactle the worse i get at semantle. i tried every variation of "memory" i could think of because it was in the high colds.... could have solved it quickly if i'd remembered to guess antonyms but gave up and hinted myself to drunkard > drunk > forget > forgetful

I solved Semantle #109 in 32 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.26. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #29. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 11.21.

weird one, my first green was forget but it was a low one so I tried the target word expecting to go a bit higher but not that much... bingo

I have a million greens but can't seem to crack it

same, can't seem to get past 996. :/ i also have 991, 992 and whole lotta greens below

Gave up in the end, despite getting into the 990s. Don't think I would have got it though.

Gave up today. Sounds like my experience is/was similar to a lot of you. I had a very early green which was high scoring - lazy, 4th guess, 979/1000, but it didn't help!

finally got it but it was a struggle. 209 guesses

Having had a rough few days, I fluked #110 in 9 guesses - one of my habitual starter words was 991/1000 and I got it next go.

I solved Semantle #110 in 6 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 24.41. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #3. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 32.12 (893/1000).

^ same

i got #110 in 4 guesses -- definitely fluke!

I solved Semantle #110 in 23 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 26.98 (491/1000). My penultimate guess had a similarity of 7.48. https://semantle.com/

and here I was feeling good about that score...

I solved Semantle #111 in 78 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.14. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #13. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 22.31 (109/1000).

I solved Semantle #112 in 61 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.02. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #30. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 3.77.
1st useful green was 'healthy'

Gave up

first word was #864, knight - no surprise a dead end, then I started getting a bunch of sports related stuff - tennis, soccer, volleyball, baseball all above 900. Tournament was only #492 below all those

#113 in 75 guesses guess 9 was "art" in the green, and guess 16 was "skill" even higher; guessed things related to training/education, trades, and sports and all were cold

113, my best in a while :( - didn't guess sport till about 70, got some 8/900s with various sports then tried 'math' for the lulz and got a higher green so I thought what's in between sport and math...

got #114 in 63. One of the easier ones, I reckon.

I solved Semantle #114 in 23 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 5.72. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 19.61. https://semantle.com/

got to 993 after 8 so maybe cudda done better

43, got sidetracked on a banking tangent for a while as my first greens were accountant, bank and management

#114 in 90 about 1/3 of my guesses were green as I can easily rattle off common business related terms

I solved Semantle #114 in 13 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 20.39. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 41.78

that's my best result in ages, recently I keep giving up. My first guess was "cost" as when I started it there was someone talking about the cost of living crisis on the radio and it was a straight path from there.

that's my best result in ages, recently I keep giving up.

14, same and same.

only just discovered you can make your own custom semantle...

excellent stuff

I solved Semantle #114 in 52 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 15.38. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 10.17.

would have got this a lot sooner if I hadn't gone down the wrong route of plant

Wow!
I solved Semantle #114 in 10 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.68. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #10. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 11.69. 8th guess of 'manager' was crucial here.

Got #115 in 159, but I took a couple of hints so that's cheating. Non-Americans may have an issue with this one...

#115 in 14, oddly got there from waffle

38, non-american here but am familiar with the term. got green on my first guess with logic, took a detour through maths and related concepts, then puzzles - got ???? for sudoko - then tried chess.

I'm sure it was inevitable, but I had been enjoying the ad free experience.

Also "tepid" now too?

The appearance of the field to post your guesses in has changed too. And it seems it takes two clicks on the button to get your guess to register.

don't mean to blow up his spot but david sold semantle and is exploring the idea of becoming a full-time game developer.

wow congrats to him

Good on him! He created a great game, might as well reap some rewards.

ah good for him :)

nice, congrats david!

64… prob should’ve gotten it earlier though considering I had 995/1000 at guess #22

60 - got into the greens early, had #992 at 38 but had to zoom out a bit to get there.

I solved Semantle #116 in 108 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 1.72. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #13. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 29.06 (913/1000).
Also got into the greens early, a lot of them to do with sight and seeing

Was stuck in synonym hell today.

But I got there!
