Octopus Overlords

Tried Redactle, after about 130 guesses and making no progress towards being able to even guess more words (largely just totally random guesses still), I gave up. Not my game apparently.

There is also a Semantle Junior now. It functions exactly like the regular version, but the target words are simpler so it is hypothetically easier to solve. You're still dealing with the sometimes opaque semantic scoring, so it's still possible to flail around wildly without making any progress. I solved Semantle Junior #4 in 90 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 3.51. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #36. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 50.61 (985/1000). https://semantle.com/junior

Yeah, I know more than a few people that just bounce right off it.

I've been thinking that Redactle would benefit in terms of accessibility/appeal if they added some sort of hint function. The ability to take a hint when I'm really stuck has made Semantle significantly more enjoyable for me than it would be without it.

This came together nicely. I started out in the general ballpark, but didn't really start to narrow it down until the last half dozen words.

I solved today's Redactle (#50) in 24 guesses with an accuracy of 79.17%.

Wordle 341 3/6

I solved today's Redactle (#50) in 92 guesses with an accuracy of 75.00%.

My theory is that Semantle is more a measure of my stubborness than anything else.

I solved Semantle #118 in 192 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.10. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #49. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 36.75 (962/1000).

My second highest scoring guess was #149, with a similarity of 60.45 (999/1000). There was much flailing about and gnashing of teeth before that last word finally popped into my head.

I solved Semantle Junior #5 in 67 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 13.73. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #13. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 75.53 (999/1000).

I don't get Semantle. Like, at all. I tried guessing, my closest guess was at around 17 and change. I used a couple of hints (one of which produced a word I've never heard and don't know the meaning - how is that even a useful hint?). Then I just gave up, and I don't see how I could ever get from my closest guess to the actual answer.

That was pretty much my initial reaction the first time I tried it back in the middle of March. I gave it another shot at the end of April, when I had started getting into Redactle and somehow managed to start getting results. I still don't feel that I'm good at it, but with luck and persistence (and a hint when I'm truly stumped) I'm usually able to solve it.

Bombed out on Heardle. Guess two songs after the first clip, but neither was in the database. Knew I hadn't heard the song after the second clip.

After the initial "cool, got 2 letters off the bat!", ended thinking I wasn't going to get it. Started trying to make up words. #4 guess was one I wouldn't have guessed was a real word.

Waffle was a redeemer. Otherwise, should have known from how bad Wordle went, it's not a good word game time for me.

Triple-digit results... ugh.

It took me about 20 guesses to get the general field, then a hundred more to nail it down. I wasn't even close to the answer until my second-last guess.

I was going to guess the correct answer in 4, but then went to eliminate letters instead.

VERY HARD for me today. Got t he 2 letters in the first 2 words and couldn't think of thing to do with them that didn't have the second letter discovered being the last letter in the word (which it wasn't).
