- Semantle is a Wordle variant that scores guesses based on semantic similarity using word embeddings.
- Players guess words and receive a cosine similarity score, which helps narrow down the target word.
- A solver was developed that uses a filtering approach to eliminate candidate words based on similarity scores.
- The solver works by randomly guessing words and reducing the candidate list to those matching the reported similarity.
- This method efficiently narrows down the target word in about 3 guesses by leveraging the sparse nature of word embeddings.
- Unlike human players who navigate semantically, the solver uses geometric constraints to find the answer.
