Semantle

🎯 What is Semantle?

Semantle is the daily semantic-word guessing game from semantle.com. Each day the puzzle picks a secret word and asks you to find it by typing other English words — the closer your guess is in meaning to the answer, the higher it ranks on a similarity scale from 0 to 100.

Contexto's predecessor, Semantle uses the same word2vec-style semantic similarity as a scoring mechanism. Rank 1 is the answer; scores in the 90s mean a synonym; scores in the 50s mean a related concept; scores near 0 mean a completely unrelated word. The puzzle resets daily at midnight UTC.

💡 How to Play Semantle

Open semantle.com to see today's empty input and the similarity scale.
Type a common English word into the input. The site shows your word's similarity score — higher numbers mean closer to the secret word.
Read the score and use it to triangulate. A score in the 90s means you've found a synonym; a score in the 50s means you're in the right neighborhood.
Try synonyms, related concepts, broader terms, narrower terms. Each guess tells you how close you are and gives you a hint about which direction to push.
Watch for "cold" and "hot" markers. The site sometimes tells you when you're getting warmer or colder with a guess.
No guess limit — the only cost is your position on the leaderboard. Top finishers typically solve in under 100 guesses; average players take a few hundred.
