better than me, took me 116. rarely takes me less than 200 guesses these days. yesterday I had "convince" early on but didn't try "convinced" for another 200 guesses.

I solved Semantle #260 in 8 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 14.06. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 51.46 (984/1000).

I also played yesterday but didn't get a word higher than 40.00 in maybe 70 words. Didn't realize it would change before you finish

seven months pass...

After Semantle, I quit my job to make games full-ish time. My latest is called Deco Deck, and it's a logic puzzle like Two Not Touch. If you like that sort of thing, you'll probably like this one. Give it a try -- it's available for iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, and Mac.

I will give that a try, my kakuro addiction is boring me to death and I need something new!

I tried it, pretty neat - looks good and it's certainly challenging, the mini was easy but I needed hints for the large after playing for nearly an hour!

one thing I'm curious about for games like this with a single unique solution - how do you generate the games? I presume there's an algorithm but I wouldn't know how to begin to design one.
