______ the ____________: Redactle

today's in 67 - I had library at 50.

Got there in 45. That single hit for organism early on was a real puzzler!

got there in my own sweet time again: 386 guesses /39.90%. not exactly proud of this one though, should have gotten there a lot sooner

still struggling. 195 guesses and i don't have enough to even cheat yet.

i finally got enough to cheat 8(

#81 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archive

#82 in 13 guesses, 61.54%. Can't be unhappy with that, though I shouldn't have persisted in guessing axe and saw after tool and weapon already turned up blank.

no half measures. i either struggle or this happens.

#83 in 11 - didn't see it at first

1 for me.

Here too! Nice after two fairly high scoring days.

lmfao, got #83 in 91 / 21.98%
i unlocked "fast" and "food" early and just kept guessing dumb shit because i could not come up with anything where XXXXX and XXX were opposites (4th paragraph) until about 10 mins later, at this point i said out loud at my computer "oh my god" and typed the correct answer

#83 23 / 34.78%

Got really lucky! I had daylight @20 thinking maybe it had something to do with DST, and followed up with night for some reason I can't remember at this point.

14 guesses for me. too bad, could have been a 1-guesser or close to it. thought it might be “sun” and “horizon” and then thought of “night” right at the outset, but couldn’t make the alternative names bracket make sense, so didn’t go straight for it

5! Gonna feel good about that until everyone else posts.

You can carry on feeling good about it. 269.

6! Felt good about that until I read seandalai’s post.

just kidding, feels very good. got lucky, tried “music” first - gotta start somewhere - got 1 hit, and then “video” looked like it might be worth a shot

#84 56 / 58.93%

14 for me, got the first word in ten then took ridiculously long for the penny to drop.

35, got way into the weeds early with displays and connector types and stuff, which is funny because i didn't get the word 'video' until the last word... so dumb

3.

It was over-the-top which was the key for me.

52, fussed around with construction, farming, home appliance type guesses for awhile due to all the "through the", "via the", "inside of the" type stuff that was revealed until "man" gave me "___-man" and it was over quick

It was [show hidden text] which was the key for me.

wow :) I have no idea how one makes that connection, but super impressive!

(my 5 was mostly luck)

oh my days

4! happy enough

I got the first word in one guess. 29 guesses later I have most of the first paragraph but still little clue about the rest of the actual title.

New styling? Also their SSL(?) cert needs renewing or something.

Had to cheat for the last word thought it was something sciencey then figured out math, no idea how I would have gotten to fundamental without cheating

Reloading the page the CSS loads back in.

#85 51 / 68.63%

46, 73.91%. guesses 2-44 were almost entirely redundant.

i swapped devices halfway through. got it in 10 (on the second device)

(and in 3 on the third device!)

In 3 today. But another article broken by the content of the source - in this case, a table with photos.

I'm getting ssl errors today.

#86 77 / 19.48%

Nice that I got it in < 100 but oof, that accuracy.

I'm also getting errors. Booooo.

you can go to it in http instead of https if you're not concerned that they might be STEALING YOUR DATA.

11, happy with that considering I had no clue when I started guessing. no table of photos visible on my phone! I guessed the first word more or less by chance and that opened it up enough.

60 - just assumed it was science initially and wasted a bunch of guesses

Ledge: after I solved it, I noticed the List of current XXX-XXXXX XXXXXs was just a heading, so I checked the real article and it was in the form of a table with smiling dictators so I guess Redactle completely omits that.

late start but
