game state at the end. i was close! in retrospect "beseech" was a hint that i was looking for a more biblical-sounding word (are there bible quotes in the corpus???)

I solved Semantle #23 in 122 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 10.09. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #4. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 17.95. semantle.novalis.org
I used a thesaurus though, not sure if that counts as cheating?

thesaurus etc. is a difficulty setting as far as i'm concerned. i'm not using any assistance except i'm watching TV which very occasionally reminds me that certain words exist 😅

Getting into the top 1000 early wasn't much help tho. I was at 995 at guess 18 😅

I’m on 192 and still no joy, even though I got 995/1000 on guess 53. What the heck
