______ the ____________: Redactle

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...

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.

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.

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.

(it's a differnet guy, ben not john)

actually, unlimited is useful given that i'm still struggling with "????? ??????????". but it won't let you type in numbers!

#97 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_University

a bust here. got the place, didn't get the thing, ran out of time.

297 / 72% - was just building up the content at an agreeable pace without really scrutinizing what I already had and then hit on the correct answer by accident!

Yeah, different creators, but the OG has basically gone AWOL (though his tip jar is still up).

68 old --> norse --> danish --> denmark --> iceland by 25 and it still took me another 40+ guesses because i'm dense

The Bodzia man carried haplogroup I1-S2077 and had both Scandinavian ancestry and Russian admixture.

yeah, thanks for that

69 - pretty slow given I figured out it was the name of a people by guess 9 - took another 30 to figure out it was a historic term, then started thinking too far back.

don't know why I never tried scandinavia as that might have sent me in the right direction.

I was peeling away, arm in the air, after a first guess of electromagnetism but somehow the 'keeper kept it out. Got it after a bit of a scramble.

Congratulations! You took 12 minutes to solve Redactle Unlimited (#99)in 119 guesses with 74.79% accuracy!

I wasn't even sure that <article title> was a real thing, but guessed it just based on what had been revealed and was pleasantly surprised

41 even though my first guess was chemistry.

#99 in 108 (7 hours and 53 minutes... not full time...) 49.07%

'chemistry' and 'electrical' after about 20, took another 90 to think to stick them together after trying every electrical component i could think of

#99 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemistry

btw, the Redactle Unlimited rendered #99 better than the original did
