It means that you can guess any number of words, and most puzzles will have you guessing over 100 times if you don't get lucky early on. The closer your guess is to the target word, the higher your score will be.

How To Play Semantle

  • The target word can be any word, but your guesses don't have to match it in category. For example, if the target word is 'London,' words like 'city' or 'historical' would likely nudge you closer to the goal.
  • Try a range of different words at the beginning to get a feel for what the word could be. Good starting words include apple, work, building, sport, fight, and small.
  • The higher the Similarity score of a word, the closer it is to the target word semantically.
  • Semantle has a list of the 1,000 closest words to the goal word - when you type one of those words in, you'll know how many words away from the goal word it is by the fourth column along.
  • Words are case-sensitive - don't use capital letters unless you are guessing a proper noun.
  • It feels tricky at first, but after completing a puzzle or two, you'll get the hang of how to assess words and their meanings in relation to the goal word.
  • Try using a synonym dictionary if you're lost for words to try! You might come across something even closer to the goal.
