Xxp lol thought the same thing, got it in 18

Dan Worsley, Saturday, 18 June 2022 19:38 (three years ago)

Wanted to show my gf how the game works today but we both got it in 2 almost immediately so it was a bad example

Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Saturday, 18 June 2022 20:14 (three years ago)

hahahah here I was coming to brag that I got this one in 11 guesses ... y'all are so great at this. I had to spend a few guesses determining it wasn't German or French -- Being and Time or one of the many "thing and thing" titles by Foucault

sarahell, Saturday, 18 June 2022 20:22 (three years ago)

Tbf I wouldn't even say I did a good job I just saw 3 and 5 and the first thing that came to me was war and peace. If it was literally anything else I would have been stumped

Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Saturday, 18 June 2022 21:47 (three years ago)

sarahell: Being and Time is Heidegger, no?

Antifa Lockhart (Leee), Saturday, 18 June 2022 21:52 (three years ago)

my first guess was tom and jerry

von kelson, Saturday, 18 June 2022 23:06 (three years ago)

highlight an entire paragraph of a redactle work in progress (this was in Linux Firefox) and it looks like the cover of autechre's quaristice

koogs, Sunday, 19 June 2022 01:07 (three years ago)

xp Leee written in German, yeah?

sarahell, Sunday, 19 June 2022 01:53 (three years ago)

Oh sorry, I think I misread your post! But yes, that's the case.

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Sunday, 19 June 2022 06:46 (three years ago)

Got it in 7 which is by far my best result so far.

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Sunday, 19 June 2022 06:46 (three years ago)

Boy what a terrible song. Haven't heard it or thought about it in ages but it did pop into my consciousness when I counted the letters in this redactle.

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Sunday, 19 June 2022 06:52 (three years ago)

Redactle #73 in 5, 80% accuracy. Totally useless first three guesses then it came to me.

Alba, Sunday, 19 June 2022 13:57 (three years ago)

#74 in 6

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Sunday, 19 June 2022 16:16 (three years ago)

49, 85.71%

papal hotwife (milo z), Sunday, 19 June 2022 16:51 (three years ago)

#73 was https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_and_Peace

koogs, Sunday, 19 June 2022 17:01 (three years ago)

191 for me (71.20%)

1! It was the only interdisciplinary branch of computer science and engineering I could think of and there were an awful lot of five-letter words kicking off sections further down.

I've never managed to ace it three days in a row, so tomorrow will be a slog, I'm sure.

Michael Jones, Sunday, 19 June 2022 17:41 (three years ago)

You solved it in 25 guesses
Your accuracy was 56.00%

messed around for a while there then went for the three letter acronym guessed e thinking bce which was wrong but did give me ????-e. couldn't be wall-e, right? it was. and the tla turned out to be r.u.r...

koogs, Sunday, 19 June 2022 17:49 (three years ago)

mike, it was the only interdisciplinary branch of computer science and engineering I could think of  - how on earth did you figure out those words though?!

11 for me, also via wall-e via e, after being at a loss when film, novel, book and song all were duds. l almost tried play, don't know if I'd have got r.u.r. if I had.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Sunday, 19 June 2022 19:47 (three years ago)

Ledge, some days I can see those patterns and some days I can’t see anything in the opening paragraph. I think we’ve had that particular 17-letter adjective before?

Michael Jones, Sunday, 19 June 2022 20:02 (three years ago)

the top paragraph did look very black today, and long black words at that.

koogs, Sunday, 19 June 2022 20:17 (three years ago)

the mysterious pink text at the bottom remains a mystery.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Sunday, 19 June 2022 21:27 (three years ago)

it's a broken cite link

#74 in 95, 78.95% accuracy, not on my game. It is 5.50am, is my excuse.

Alba, Monday, 20 June 2022 04:51 (three years ago)

I solved today's Redactle (#74) in 201 guesses with an accuracy of 54.73%.

Had Wall-E at guess #31 but didn't solve it for another 170 guesses

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Monday, 20 June 2022 14:15 (three years ago)

#74 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robotics

koogs, Monday, 20 June 2022 16:28 (three years ago)

bed buuuuug

koogs, Monday, 20 June 2022 16:31 (three years ago)

Gave up on today's.

Antifa Lockhart (Leee), Monday, 20 June 2022 17:21 (three years ago)

92, cheated. never heard of this guy

donna rouge, Monday, 20 June 2022 17:21 (three years ago)

186, cheated on the second word.

mike t-diva, Monday, 20 June 2022 17:22 (three years ago)

I'm stuffed on today's. I know it's a German philosopher and I've got half of it, but I'd need to accidentally find myself in the appropriate section of a large bookshop to solve this.

Michael Jones, Monday, 20 June 2022 17:23 (three years ago)

81, 33% cheated after going through every 20th century German philosopher I could think

papal hotwife (milo z), Monday, 20 June 2022 18:40 (three years ago)

151 and i did exactly the same thing as milo z

Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Monday, 20 June 2022 19:03 (three years ago)

Yeah, I got that he was a German philosopher called Max something by turn 20 but I can't think of one that fits

Alba, Monday, 20 June 2022 19:11 (three years ago)

Yup gave up and googled at 34, after deciding I was never going to put in enough German Jewish surnames to get it

Alba, Monday, 20 June 2022 19:15 (three years ago)

I can't even figure out what two of his three branches of philosophy were, and i studied it.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Monday, 20 June 2022 19:23 (three years ago)

#75 was/is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Scheler

gave up 171 in

koogs, Monday, 20 June 2022 20:09 (three years ago)

this bit First period (Jena, Munich, Gottingen and World War I) rendered oddly. had the last two characters as letters

koogs, Monday, 20 June 2022 20:10 (three years ago)

█████ ██████ ██████ ███████ █████████ and █████ ███ ██

there are commas in there not displaying as commas

koogs, Monday, 20 June 2022 20:13 (three years ago)

For a while I was sure I know who it was but couldn't remember their name, now I'm sure it's someone else but I can't remember their name either

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Monday, 20 June 2022 21:53 (three years ago)

I finally remembered their name, it wasn't them :(

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Monday, 20 June 2022 22:48 (three years ago)

back to trying random short German first names - It's not Uli or Ulf

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Monday, 20 June 2022 22:50 (three years ago)

I got the first word but it still gave me nothing, so I gave up...never heard of the guy

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Monday, 20 June 2022 23:11 (three years ago)

Today's seems to be cut off partway through. I solved it but the article is incomplete.

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Tuesday, 21 June 2022 16:29 (three years ago)

yeah I was confused when egg and eggs didn't show up at all, plus really low hit counts on other related terms

rob, Tuesday, 21 June 2022 16:40 (three years ago)

Yeah, it seems to be an embedded sound file which has broken the article.

I thought it was a geographical feature at first but the range of lengths should have been a pointer to fauna.

Michael Jones, Tuesday, 21 June 2022 16:53 (three years ago)

#76 Had to cheat again (sigh), 323 / 29.72%. Pretty gross numbers, even for me.

Antifa Lockhart (Leee), Tuesday, 21 June 2022 17:50 (three years ago)

#76 is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_robin

You solved it in 84 guesses
Your accuracy was 40.48%
Globally, 4930 players have solved today's Redactle so far
Global Median: 89.00 Guesses; 36.24% Accuracy
Global Average: 109.85 Guesses; 38.41% Accuracy

quite terrible thought it was a country / city for ~90% of that

koogs, Tuesday, 21 June 2022 19:26 (three years ago)

Again I am sure I know what it is but I don't know what it's called (I have the second word but the first may be unknowable)

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Tuesday, 21 June 2022 19:49 (three years ago)
