______ the ____________: Redactle

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%.

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.

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

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

#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.

#64 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparkling_wine

lol

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

376 and i cheated too lmao

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.

331 (62.24%), another cheater

99, absolutely cheated lol

603, cheated. -_-

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.

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

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.

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

:( I got Shakti but not the ism

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

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

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

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

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.

I'm shit out of rocks

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)

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

where's sheila chandra when you need her?

oh, that suddenly took a turn around word 235

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

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?

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.

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.

6 for me today - good to see ILX back on track

4 for me, I equivocated between biology and physics even though I'd seen up & down and thought of something particle.

#67 in 64. 64. Was tempted to give up when I realised it was physics so glad it ended up guessable even for me

today in 4, incredibly

i got the 2nd word at 6, am sleeping on the first

Got the second word pretty early, but the first not until 65.

40ish. i moved onto phone after getting the second word at guess 6 so i can't be exact

#67 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_particle

look at all those diagrams, no wonder it was messed up

Yesterday was a bit of a slog, they'll be taking back my barely-earned physics 2:2.

But today was a hole-in-one, so I can keep my Drama CSE.

absolutely nothing for the first 9 guesses, only 6 within the first 18.

hole in one but it took a while. clipping was a bit of a head scratcher.

yes, i was surprised at that. also i was looking at the things that were obviously titles, only they were australian things i've not seen and so no help. all the examples seemed a bit odd
