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

I solved today’s Redactle (#14) in 68 guesses with an accuracy of 54.41%.

Got 81 in 90. I am now batting .500!

I solved Semantle #82 in 71 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 2.57. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #29. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 44.65 (989/1000). https://semantle.novalis.org/

They added a hint button. I didn’t use it.

My god. I just went way down the wrong path.

I solved Semantle #82 in 191 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 12.65. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #12. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 50.75 (996/1000).

Redactle took 178, which was fine because I was having so much fun with the topic that I started trying to fill out the whole thing.

I solved Semantle #83 in 21 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 16.84. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #8. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 53.99 (996/1000).

Looks like I’m getting better at these, though wordle is kicking my butt today.

I managed to identify the very specific category of Redactle at guess 28 (composer of solo piano music), but foundered from lack of knowledge, and finally googled a list around #80. Still fun, though.

I solved Semantle #83 in 59 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.60. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 31.41 (909/1000). https://semantle.novalis.org/

Eh, feels like that should’ve been a little quicker.

Fun to see green on first guess. Didn’t solve it any quicker though it was motivating.

Some days, you eat the bear….

Just found the hint button, wasn’t very helpful actually. :confused:

Much better on Redactle….

Well that was more fun. My logical path worked out to actually be logical…

Semantle I need to leave it be for a while while things percolate and come back to it. Redactle I can just hammer away until I solve it.

Dumbass. Overthought it.

I solved today’s Redactle (#19) in 53 guesses with an accuracy of 47.17%.

Gave up on Semantle #87, it was nowhere near the trend of my guesses were going. Closest guess was 972/1000 with a similarity of 39.85.

Funny you say that, this is the first time I’ve gotten frustrated with it and put it down. I will likely come back to it later, but I’m already over 100 guesses.

I solved Semantle #87 in 126 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.41. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #6. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 34.70 (922/1000). https://semantle.novalis.org/

Circled around for a while (got #974 on guess 17 and thought piece of cake!) but eventually landed it.
