I have been on a run with the last 3 getting them in 12, 10, and 14 guesses. Part of me thinks I have broken the game but most of me knows it has been luck to a degree. I expect another 100+ guess is coming soon.

What helped me was starting to develop an opening with a handful of set words that at worst get me pointed in the general direction. I am also spending more time with the game, I walk away after every couple of words and let it ferment in the back of my head.

After this post, the game is almost certainly going to humble me.

996/100 on my 24th guess today…solved at 63. Brutal


I was at 898 on my 25th guess. Took me 77. Was at 996 on guess 62 and still took me a while.

My first 'green' guess wasn't until guess 115 on today's game.

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


Thought this comment was from today and used that word and got close. Was surprised when I noticed this comment was from last month

Got me on the right track at least

Truer words...

I am working word 97 I am on guess 84 and I don't have any idea where this is going. I feel as lost as I did the first time I played.

ETA: Finally got it at 251.

Mine by far. I was in the 160s then went out to eat after work and it has flipped over now.

Can someone tell me what #97 was? I am guessing it was an adverb but my mind thinks in terms of nouns.

#97 was "offensive".

Under the FAQ, you can see the previous 7 or so words.

Thanks, also didn't realize you could see the past few words. I have noticed I have a lot harder time when the word isn't a noun.

I have a few words over 900 but my highest is 944, feel like I'm sidetracked now. Gonna take a break after 150 guesses and come back to it.


My 150th guess has a similarity of -4.48

I'm 220 questions deep and my best guess is 988. I also have 985, 983, 974, and a bunch of others >800. I feel like I'm no closer than I was at the beginning.

I just guessed 'ectoplasm' again for shits and giggles and it was not my worst guess by far.


I cheated and broke out the thesaurus. frick this game.
