and today it's not even giving me that option. but does want to waste cycles on animating the title.

37 - a bit dim, physics in one but didn't guess force till 27, and shouldn't have taken another ten after that. i blame the heat.

I can't load this page anymore ;____;

Ah nm I figured out how to go there anyway even though my browser is unhappy about it.

in one, getting a bit bored of all these science ones.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Monday, 18 July 2022 17:15 (two years ago) link

I am too, but that's because I end up having to cheat (I needed 154 guesses though).

167 to solve. i wonder how Shaggy 2 Dope would have done on this one

No, I think it was without the -ism?

Michael Jones, Tuesday, 19 July 2022 16:15 (two years ago) link

i did wonder because the text wasn't quite how i remembered it. i had redactle unlimited still open in a tab but it refreshed when i clicked into it and gave me a 500 and then was gone

koogs, Tuesday, 19 July 2022 17:02 (two years ago) link

moar physics

koogs, Tuesday, 19 July 2022 17:04 (two years ago) link

one again, good for my stats but come on. i didn't even scroll past the first para.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Tuesday, 19 July 2022 17:28 (two years ago) link

158 and a cheat because i have never heard of this

imagine how much smarter id be if after completing redactle i actually read the articles. never gonna happen lol im gonna stay dumb

Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Tuesday, 19 July 2022 18:28 (two years ago) link

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.

koogs, Tuesday, 19 July 2022 20:33 (two years ago) link

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.

I did not need to see the photos in the Wiki entry for #105.

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...

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Wednesday, 20 July 2022 18:29 (two years ago) link

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.

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Wednesday, 20 July 2022 18:30 (two years ago) link

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.

Today is another bust, because although I know what this is, I'm never going to be able to guess the family of freshwater fish carp belong to. So I'm just going to look it up and save my evening.

Michael Jones, Thursday, 21 July 2022 18:31 (two years ago) link

yes, I got all the first sentence apart from the title in 31, no chance of getting any further.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Thursday, 21 July 2022 18:45 (two years ago) link

Abandoned hope at guess 103, and rightly so.

one hit for sport?

koogs, Saturday, 23 July 2022 04:35 (two years ago) link

I got it in 3 - the first tla with a six letter third word that I thought of.

25 - maybe gettable in one, at first I thought it was something geographical.

the fact that there are no five letter oceans for an island to be in should have been a big clue - river is the only other likely candidate and there can't be too many famois things on river islands.

22. The hyphenated title looked love a French name, and sainte at 2 sealed it, but my knowledge of Parisian landmarks is pretty poor and it took my brain kind of a long time to try to fill in the blank blank de Paris.

Judd Apatosaurus (Leee), Saturday, 23 July 2022 17:46 (two years ago) link

3/4s of it after 3 guesses. currently being let down by cse french grade 2. de or du?

Congratulations! You took 43 seconds to solve Redactle Unlimited in 5 guesses with 100% accuracy!

By far my best result ever, I think

Thought process: not an actor or a writer or an artist or a musician. Well I guess there are different kinds of musicians...

haven't been keeping up with any version of redactle but i'm extremely curious about what happened to the dev. starting to wonder if he's still alive. still making $600/month on patreon!

Three instant-solves in a row! First time I've done that. Back to fish families and meteorologists tomorrow.

Michael Jones, Sunday, 24 July 2022 18:43 (two years ago) link

Well done, wish I'd given yesterday's a bit more thought!

It looked like it might be some kind of text or work of art at first, so I'm not too surprised I needed a good while to figure out it was a food item.
