______ the ____________: Redactle

In 2. Definite article 11-letter nation was the key.

80 / 76.67%, spent too long just knocking out words i knew were in there because to me that is "fun" i guess

#90 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_Marcos

(gave up on 45) had the first name, accidentally - all the assassination talk and wwii made me try franz ferdinand... but i was going in the wrong (spanish, latin-american) direction and might't've got there eventually but it's 10 to 5

170 today and it ended in cheating because i would have never gotten there. spent about 70 words on stuff related to different biomes and then another 50 or so on weather/wind/currents/etc, said screw it and searched "precipitation by latitude". now i guess i'll read the article and learn something I GUESS

and when i say "i would never have gotten there" i mean i have never heard of this guy, or this effect, or any of it. also is it just me or is the expansion section written weirdly? i was confused by rainforest being two words at first, and reading it now it doesn't "read" like wikipedia.

feel like i know everything about today's, other than the title

This is the German philosopher all over again. I've got the second word. I can't spend the rest of the evening guessing surnames of meteorlogists.

same - took me 120 guesses to get the second word after belt, zone, band, area all struck out, and I'm still not even sure what this thing is other than something to do with air.

ditto about this being a thing, and still have not title words

it's not an area or a zone or a line or a point or a layer. it's not a belt or a ring or a front. i don't remember it ever being mentioned in o'level geography and it feels like it should've been.

odd that i tried 'coriolis' about 50 attempts before 'water'...

shrug emoji

back in the 1 club.

#92 101 / 52.48%

I had evaporates at 34 which only had 1 hit -- it's kind of an annoying wrinkle of this game when different parts of speech of the article title aren't really represented in the body.

I had vapor at guess 12 but it took me until 60 to get it.

18 here, wasted a bunch of early guesses on far-too-wide words like "science" before trying gas, then sublimation, then liquid, then evaporation

2

sublimation 8( that's what you get for being a smart arse

seems to be down today -- is it hosted in Canada?

#92 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporation

the comment suggests (to me) it's the wikipedia aspect that isn't working - the page itself looks fine

but i can see the 3KB download from wikipedia working

but if you go there (spoilers!) the page is an ambiguation page with just 5 links

I tried a random word on the phone (with a blank page loaded) and it told me I'd solved it in 1 guess, with 0% accuracy. The stats (after 541 ppl) are 1.12, 0.22% avg, so it's possibly worked for a couple of people.

ha, yes, in one with grotbags

the page it's trying to load (spoilers) is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_period

didn't work for me with 'shoes', or something more plausible (this, that, then).

That means those words are unredacted then, possibly?

Truly this is the hardest one yet. Not even showing us the article and having it to piece it together from hundreds of ppl’s experiences of what happens when you try a random word - it’s next level stuff. Hats off. :)

Can’t get it to open, tried different browsers on different hardware.

ok, tried it again this morning, on my phone, and it's playable now but still the same disambiguation page so really short

Got today's in two after spending a short while wondering if the atlantic ocean has arms.

I solved today's Redactle (#94) in 52 guesses with an accuracy of 57.69%.

oh, 53. but 58% accuracy

the "an ???" though...

60 guesses / 56.67%.

42/55ish% - feels like an L after seeing how not-obscure the answer is, given recent ones

I solved today's Redactle (#95) in 461 guesses with an accuracy of 46.64%.

Yeesh.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 67 guesses with 76.12% accuracy! Play at https://redactle-unlimited.com/#article/Q2hhbWJlcl9tdXNpYw==.

Hopefully this one will have better support than the original.

36 today. That long quote in the first para about chemistry threw me; finally got on the right track when I established it was oils of some sort, but not for burning or consuming.

52, 85% would have gotten it sooner but I didn't scroll down and see No.<number> that made Chanel No.5 obvious

257 (65%)

321, oof

was fixated on drinks for a long time, and then medicinal things like lotions

204, oof indeed. was lost in some strange hinterland between food and chemistry. I thought from the beginning it might begin with 'per' (from latin 'to ______ through'), thanks for nothing brain.

'used to give ... animals, food... an agreeable scent' - really? maybe in some cultures not at all mentioned in the article...

#94 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Channel
#95 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfume

not sure redactle unlimited appeals tbh, event though it fixes a couple of the features. maybe i'll give it a try when the original version is disappointingly easy.

#96
You solved it in 74 guesses
Your accuracy was 68.92%
Globally, 6783 players have solved today's Redactle so far
Global Median: 97.00 Guesses; 61.36% Accuracy
Global Average: 123.58 Guesses; 61.40% Accuracy

all the hits for food misled me somewhat. also lots of geographical guesses that didn't really help given that it's worldwide

68, 73.53%. I got Asia straight away thanks to Ân and Bụt, then food very quickly, but got stuck on meat/fish (i saw _____ season and thought of 'mating', it was 'growing' or 'rainy'.) Then when I got 'group of plants' I thought I'd never pin it down but after a few more guesses it came to me.

312 guesses (63.14%). when it went on and on about all that stuff getting eaten in China and thereabouts it suddenly dawned on me. very yummy indeed

for clarification: I figured out it was a plant quite early on, at guess 23 in fact.

not sure redactle unlimited appeals tbh, event though it fixes a couple of the features. maybe i'll give it a try when the original version is disappointingly easy.

Redactle Unlimited is the same game, though? Just that it has more QOL features and is being actively worked on -- OG Redactle will probably expire some time next year, is the scuttlebutt.

#96 was https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo

which is the name of our team at work so why it took me so many i do not know

230 guesses (30% - I’ve only been this clueless once before no matter how gettable this one seemed right from the get-go. had Egypt at 79, but didn’t bother to try its capital until 191, and I had even
made a mental note of “UP” when I checked the text beforehand. but I was somehow totally convinced it was some kind of former (pseudo-) state or territory in the region)

55 / 52%. Got the first word in 18, then ages to figure out what kind of building or structure or institution it was.

> Redactle Unlimited is the same game, though?

hadn't noticed this! but is it the same guy? not sure i'm happy with some new guy asking for tips for something this close to the original.
