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

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

Got it in 6 with the aid of a big giveaway halfway down, I should have thought harder about the second word - spoiler tagging in case of unconscious 'second' hint!

i got both yesterdays and todays in 69 which i wish could say feels nice, but i had to cheat yesterday because i was in no way gonna get that big word and today i just floundered nowhere near the answer for ages until i realized i had... actually uncovered most of a sentence that i didn't notice while spamming? then i realized what the 3-letter word had to be, and the long word (and then i guessed first and third before second because i am a not-counting idiot)

Got #100 immediately (I took a punt on second being a more popular article than zeroth). First quick solve in a while.

also, with unlimited, i pressed "daily" several times and got different articles, none of them matching the original. the numbers weren't working either.

³⁰ here. not sure why it did that...
i also found out there are two redactle unlimited sites, one with a hyphen, one without. but one of them doesn't mirror the current game.

Surprised to get this in 46 because I have never knowingly heard of this thing, but I uncovered enough to make an educated guess. Guessing the "____-" in the second paragraph was a big help.

285. Had to cheat by looking at my child's vaccination records. (Somehow that seemed more honourable than just googling). Not sure I would have remembered it on my own.
I don't know if the articles are chosen from the list at random, but to my taste there is too much science lately... give us some history, geography, arts, humanities...

Oops, thought I had hidden that whole thing. I guess you can't have paragraph breaks within hidden tags? Sorry for that vague clue, however vague it may be.

41, 56.1%. took me 30 to get disease, up till then I had no clue, I'd forgotten that _. ________ often indicates a bacterium name. Then I had to think of a ten letter disease, I discounted the answer at first till I remembered it has two Hs.
