Semantle is a daily word game where you guess by meaning, not letters. You type words, and the game tells you how close each is in meaning to the secret word, using word embeddings. It is like Wordle with a very different brain, and frustrating and rewarding in equal measure. When you arrive, you start guessing and watch the similarity scores, using them to home in on the secret word. There is a new puzzle each day. The game does not care how a word is spelled, only what it is related to, so you need to think in concepts. Start with broad words, like animal or tool, and narrow from there. It takes about five minutes if you are lucky and much longer if not. It works on phones and desktops. If you like word games with a twist, this is one of the best.
Tips for getting the most out of it
- Start with broad concept words.
- Use the scores to find the right neighborhood.
- Do not fixate on spelling.
