How to Play Semantic Explorer
Navigate meaning space to find a hidden word in 15 guesses. No letters, no tiles — just the shape of meaning. Each guess receives a rank (#1 is the target) showing how close in meaning it is. Two compass hints point you toward the answer. Type any word in {langName} and watch the map fill with your trail of guesses around a hidden center.
Tips & Strategy
1
Start with a vowel-rich word
Words like CRANE, STARE, or ADIEU test common letters quickly. Knowing which vowels are present narrows options fast.
2
Use what you know
Green letters stay locked. Yellow letters must move. Gray letters are eliminated. Each guess should use all three clues.
3
Think about common patterns
English words often end in -TION, -IGHT, -OUND, -MENT. Other languages have their own patterns — learn them.
4
Eliminate, don't guess randomly
Your second word should test new letters, not repeat confirmed ones. Cover as many untested consonants as possible.
5
Watch for double letters
Words like CREEK, FLOSS, or APPLE are common traps. If your clues don't add up, consider a repeated letter.
6
Use hard mode to improve
Hard mode forces you to use confirmed clues in every guess. It builds better habits even when you switch back to normal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Semantic Explorer in English?
Semantic Explorer is a word-guessing game built on meaning, not letters. You type any English word and the game tells you its rank — how many of the 50,000 words in the dictionary are closer to the hidden target than your guess. Rank #1 means you've found it. You have 15 guesses.
How is it different from classic Wordle?
Classic Wordle uses letters and positions; Semantic Explorer uses meaning. Any word length works, and two words are 'close' if they appear in similar contexts across billions of sentences. It's a completely different way of thinking about words.
What are compass hints?
After each guess, two compass hints tell you directions to move — 'think more burning', 'think more ancient', etc. They compare your latest guess to the target along physical and conceptual axes, helping you navigate toward the answer.
What does the oracle hint do?
You get one poetic hint per game, unlocked after your 5th guess. It's cryptic by design — think of it as a nudge, not an answer. Use it wisely.
Is Semantic Explorer free?
Yes. Semantic Explorer is completely free. No account, no download, no ads during gameplay. Every day has a new hidden word, shared by all players in the same language.
