I'll live to regret this, but here's the Semantle thread

Unbelievable. Even though Israel was my third guess, it took me 94 more to get the right answer.

I solved today’s Redactle (#39) in 61 guesses with an accuracy of 47.54%.

Definitely had opportunities for a lower score on this one, but started in the wrong direction.

I solved today’s Redactle (#40) in 90 guesses with an accuracy of 53.33%. Bah.

Redactle has lately been kicking my ass, so I felt somewhat accomplished with:

I solved today’s Redactle (#40) in 52 guesses with an accuracy of 63.46%. At 90/53.33% you’re still ahead of the global averages.

I’ve pretty much given up on Semantle for now.

Yeah, I’m off Semantle for a bit.

I solved today’s Redactle (#41) in 37 guesses with an accuracy of 54.05%.

I solved today’s Redactle (#41) in 26 guesses with an accuracy of 76.92%.

I solved Semantle #109 in 64 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 22.48. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 29.28.

Still semantling. Some days are better than others. Some are mediocre–see above.

I solved today’s Redactle (#42) in 11 guesses with an accuracy of 63.64%. Would have been 10, but now I know multiple words no workee.

Hit about the global average in Redactle today:

I solved today’s Redactle (#43) in 50 guesses with an accuracy of 80.00%. Global median was also exactly 50…hadn’t really paid attention to that stat before, but I think my goal is to do better each time.

I also got today’s in an even 50!

Team median!

I solved today’s Redactle (#45) in 4 guesses with an accuracy of 100.00%. My four words, for what it’s worth, were that, which, law, and family. Basically I saw all the hyphenated “-in-XXX” phrases and got somewhat lucky on word choice.
