Semantle
released on Jan 30, 2022
A daily word-guessing game where each guess must be a word (of any length) or short phrase. The game will tell you how semantically similar it thinks your word is to the secret word. Unlike that other word game, it's not about the spelling; it's about the meaning.

the game got acquired and has a logo now instead of looking like, in the words of a friend, "like a site made by your math professor". nothing gold can stay
This and Wor*l*dle are the best of these games, as far as the ones I've played go.
My goal is to get the answer in under 50 guesses, but sometimes it takes me well over 100 guesses and that's just fine.
Pro tips: The words are chosen from news articles; a word can be semantically similar to its antonym; and if you're stuck, take a few guesses in random directions and review.

Probably my favorite of the "dle" games at the moment, even surpassing the original. The premise here is to guess the daily word not through spelling, but by guessing words close to its meaning. Each word you give gets a rating from 0 to 100, and you have to keep guessing until you land on the word. The game gives infinite guesses, and you'll need a lot of them. Some days you happen upon the word in around 30 guesses, other days you surpass 200 guesses. It's all about trying to find the correct chain of thought, making several leaps to find connections, and having a thesaurus in a separate tab. It's a fun thing to do throughout the day, and I feel way more accomplished getting the right answer here than in Wordle. Definitely give it a shot if your itching for something pretty different from the other "dle" games.
