Why the Semantle Archive Matters
Every Semantle secret word since launch. Useful for learning how semantic similarity scoring works — past answers show you what the model considers "close".
How Semantle Works
You guess words and Semantle tells you how semantically close each guess is on a 0-100 scale. The 1000th-closest word usually scores around 10-15. If you hit 30+, you're in the neighborhood. The jump from 70 to the answer can take 50+ guesses — that's where the real thinking kicks in.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Semantle differ from Contexto?
Both use word embeddings, but Semantle gives you a numeric similarity score (0-100) while Contexto gives you a rank position. Semantle also tends to be harder — fewer guesses, wider scoring gaps.
Is the archive useful for strategy?
Very. Looking at past answers helps you build intuition about which word families the model tends to pick as targets.
What score means I'm close?
Below 10: cold. 10-30: warming up. 30-50: you're in the right area. 50+: you're close, keep iterating. 100: you got it.
