Key quotes
· 4 pulledSemantle is a Wordle game variant. But instead of scoring guesses based on lexical similarity like its predecessor, it scores them based on semantic similarity.
I initially guessed 'philosophy,' which was very far from the correct answer (similarity score of 6.02).
After several more guesses I got lucky with 'biology' (27.55) as my 8th guess, which pointed me toward more science-y words.
Eventually I realized the answer had something to do with a hospital setting.
