Semantle: Can you think like a computer?

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!

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!"

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.
