Yes! You can actually play every game of Semantle and Semantle Jr. ever created. Head over to the archive and start playing previous games.

You can play more than once per day if you visit the archive, however there is only one new game released per day. Semantle is similar to Wordle, a daily word game where you can only play once per day.

Semantle uses a technology called word2vec to calculate the semantic distance between words. This allows us to determine how close your guess is to the secret word. The closer you get, the more accurate the proximity column will be.

We used the GoogleNews-vectors-negative300 dataset from late 2021.

We don't know why the data set doesn't include them. Perhaps they were just warping the scores of everything else, since they are used in so many different contexts? Your guess is as good as ours.

The data seems to be normalized to US spelling. Semantle tries to automatically Americanize your spelling (in the cases where only the American version is in the data set). Of course, they probably couldn't normalize some words, like 'biscuit', 'lift', or 'pants', so for those you're on your own.

Yes, we have added functionaly so you can play in teams.

I grabbed a random list of the "most popular" 5,000 words in English, and removed anything capitalized or with hyphens, and the word2vec stopwords ("and", "if"). Then I shuffled it..

Yes! While playing a game, if you scroll down, you have the option to get a hint, or give up. You'll get a word that is slightly better than your best guess. You can also try playing Semantle Junior or Proximity by Clever Goat.
