I don't tend to try and guess it right off the bat by counting numbers and so on. I like chipping away at it bit by bit so that it gradually reveals itself.

i find this so much more satisfying, but all of the stats and stuff always push me towards trying to do it quick.

Got it in 4, and it would have been 3 if my stupid oversensitive keyboard hadn't written Christianityy as my first guess.

Lily Dale, Wednesday, 8 June 2022 18:04 (three years ago)

152 (79.61%) Only noticed the Bible verse notation after guess 98, then I slowly worked my way to the answer

long.....

koogs, Wednesday, 8 June 2022 18:34 (three years ago)

5 - took a stab with anglicanism, that got 0 hits so checked i was in the right area with god, protestantism, branches. Took a while to think of another possible branch.

73 - I got lots of hits for very Catholic words so went down the wrong path

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Wednesday, 8 June 2022 20:20 (three years ago)

a bust. it's even hard to find on wikipedia because the topic is so huge and convoluted. lol, religion

koogs, Thursday, 9 June 2022 13:23 (three years ago)

Redactle 27 Church was my first guess and would have had it much not sooner if I’d not thought the word was Lutherianism with two “i”s.

Alba, Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:08 (three years ago)

#63 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutheranism

how, tf, was "Drink" 0 hits

koogs, Thursday, 9 June 2022 18:06 (three years ago)

102, 62%

papal hotwife (milo z), Thursday, 9 June 2022 18:07 (three years ago)

142 guesses. To think my first thought when I glanced the intro was “***** tea”, but yeah “drink” and “food” didn’t register at all...

I solved today's Redactle (#64) in 15 guesses with an accuracy of 60.00%.

mike t-diva, Thursday, 9 June 2022 18:23 (three years ago)

24, 50.00%. I saw the ____ per _____ bit, tried meter, meter, liter, didn't try litre for another 15 guesses. no hits for water or oil after that, then thought of beer and then wine. wasted another guess on carbonated ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - i also guessed hard and soft for no good reason, no hits even though they are in there.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Thursday, 9 June 2022 19:31 (three years ago)

48 slightly annoyed because my second guess was "drink" with 0 hits

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Thursday, 9 June 2022 19:47 (three years ago)

In 36 with unusually low accuracy of 52.78%. Just couldn’t get started on it so ended up throwing lots of filler words that didn’t really help. Finally I started on countries and three goes after France I had it

Alba, Thursday, 9 June 2022 20:22 (three years ago)

#64: 160 / 45.63%

One of these days I might try to remember trying FRANCE if I have an inkling that it's a food or drink -- I had absolutely no idea until I was on a meeting today to discuss an app we're calling sugar, and that's what put me on the right track at 96.

lol

rob, Friday, 10 June 2022 17:38 (three years ago)

150/62% but I cheated after I'd exhausted literally every word I could think of in the subject area

rob, Friday, 10 June 2022 17:46 (three years ago)

376 and i cheated too lmao

Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Friday, 10 June 2022 17:48 (three years ago)

38... thank goodness memories of a number 41 hit from 1982 helped me in the end. If it had been one of the other denominations I'd have given up.

Michael Jones, Friday, 10 June 2022 18:06 (three years ago)

331 (62.24%), another cheater

butt-mooning is a polysemous word, hoss! (breastcrawl), Friday, 10 June 2022 18:10 (three years ago)

99, absolutely cheated lol

donna rouge, Friday, 10 June 2022 19:26 (three years ago)

603, cheated. -_-

Antifa Lockhart (Leee), Friday, 10 June 2022 22:30 (three years ago)

took me too long (80 guesses) to get hindu, even longer to get denomination, knew I wasn't going to get it then but carried on to 350 guesses anyway.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Saturday, 11 June 2022 10:54 (three years ago)

260 in, I have about 50% of the first paragraph but resigned to scouring my brain until the deadline runs out

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Saturday, 11 June 2022 12:39 (three years ago)

cheated at 242. in fact i was trying to cheat since 220 or so but it doesn't make it easy. wouldn't've got it.

tried all my good indian religion words and got enough hits to keep me going but... "one of several major..." *several*. i was trying all the numbers.

koogs, Saturday, 11 June 2022 15:45 (three years ago)

#65 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaktism - another ism...

koogs, Saturday, 11 June 2022 15:47 (three years ago)

:( I got Shakti but not the ism

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Saturday, 11 June 2022 16:03 (three years ago)

Yeah, I was very relieved to give up, see the answer and realize, No, I wouldn't have ever gotten that on my own.

pplains, Saturday, 11 June 2022 16:51 (three years ago)

279 guesses in and I’m still completely mystified by today’s Redactle

butt-mooning is a polysemous word, hoss! (breastcrawl), Saturday, 11 June 2022 18:00 (three years ago)

going nowhere today either, I seem to have lost my ability to Redactle...

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Saturday, 11 June 2022 18:52 (three years ago)

102 and gave in - I knew sedimentary and igneous but not metamorphic

papal hotwife (milo z), Saturday, 11 June 2022 18:55 (three years ago)

105, took me 102 to get to rock - I feel like I either get in the right ballpark straight away or it takes me an age to figure it out. Hits at guess 23 for solid but not liquid or gas might have been a clue.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Saturday, 11 June 2022 19:07 (three years ago)

I'm shit out of rocks

Alba, Saturday, 11 June 2022 19:11 (three years ago)

redactle's got me going on my computer on saturdays now, that's a high compliment to redactle

133 today with a 30.83%!

took me FOREVER to even get close. i think i had like 5 hits in the first 40 or so?! temperature was my first in, then after flailing i tried some high temp things which led me to core and mantle, and then eventually i just tried rock and two guesses later i got there (why i went sed before met when temperature is involved is beyond me)

Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Saturday, 11 June 2022 19:11 (three years ago)

I'm in the 400s, fully browsing the related pages on Wikipedia, and still don't know what it is.

Antifa Lockhart (Leee), Saturday, 11 June 2022 19:18 (three years ago)

where's sheila chandra when you need her?

koogs, Saturday, 11 June 2022 20:32 (three years ago)

73 but I kinda cheated, once i got rock i could remember igneous and sedimentary but couldn't remember the third type

JoeStork, Saturday, 11 June 2022 22:06 (three years ago)

got there in 414 (39.21%, extremely low) things only got moving once I struck “stone” and then “rock” at 325. needed some Wiki help to find the actual answer tho

119 is that good?

I solved today's Redactle (#66) in 112 guesses with an accuracy of 41.96%.

Global Average: 112.07 Guesses; 43.01% Accuracy

...I was extremely average today.

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Sunday, 12 June 2022 06:56 (three years ago)

I solved today's Redactle (#67) in 36 guesses with an accuracy of 58.33%.

Back on track! One thing I've noticed so far is that if "number" shows up, it's still not likely to be a math article.

Antifa Lockhart (Leee), Sunday, 12 June 2022 16:16 (three years ago)

Got this one in 5. Should have been 3, but I second-guessed my instincts and put in two guesses that went nowhere before going back to my first idea.
