This game is my favorite of the -le games. You have unlimited guesses, and the correct word is based on Semantics (the spirit of the word). As you get closer, you’ll be given a #/1000. The higher the number, the closer you are to the correct word.

Give it a try.

I’ve been here too long when the first thing I see is the word semen, even though the spelling isn’t correct

I just got todays. I think their algorithm could be better, just based on how they ranked the words leading up to getting it.

Fun concept, but I’m having a hard time breaking out of searching for synonyms. For today, I got to 763/1000 before I got frustrated. Taking a break, then going to come back later.

I think of the replaceability of the word, and go from there. If I were writing a news article, which word would I use instead of the ranked word. It helps

That was frustrating. Oddly enough, the word "frustrated" got me close to today's word.

I love semantle. I've gotten the word in less than 15 guesses, gotten it in 150 guesses, and have given up a few times. I even cheated and looked at thesaurus.com a few times when I was stumped. It's a good challenge.

I got 920 out of 1000 and still not sure what it means? Am I looking for synonyms?

Synonyms, yes. Sorta.

Think of words you can replace that word with. Tense and part of speech (verb, adverb, noun, adjective) are important.

12 pleasure 26.27 323/1000
1 please 16.53 (cold)
4 sleep 9.57 (cold)
6 beginning 8.89 (cold)
5 apples 3.08 (cold)
2 beauty 2.50 (cold)
3 tiger -1.05 (cold)

Took me a little while to get the hang of it, my 7th guess was a 988, which was just me going back to my first guess and adding 1 letter.

You can also challenge friends with a word you create and they have to guess it

Hm. I got 984 on my 22nd try and after 20 more guesses haven't gotten any closer. I have 6 guesses over 900 and of course the theme is obvious, but there are words that are complete opposites scoring similarly high.

It’s tricky. I got the 999/1000 and it still took me 8 more guesses. I got it in 40. I can tell this is going to be frustrating as hell but I will play it. Frick the OP

About to turn to the thesaurus. My wife may be right, I don't have feelings.
