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.

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.

Abandoned hope at guess 103, and rightly so.

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

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.

#110 40 / 22.50%

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.

Judd Apatosaurus (Leee), Monday, 25 July 2022 16:28 (two years ago) link

ugh. 73. got food in 32, guessed fruit immediately after so why it took so long to guess vegetables idk.

Looks like it's time to move over to Unlimited. BTW there's a copycat site that leaves off the hyphen.

Judd Apatosaurus (Leee), Tuesday, 26 July 2022 17:14 (two years ago) link

yeah, but be sure to hit 'Daily' or we'll all get a different game!

Ok, so it's this one from now on! The base64 thing, though. I guess that's a good "out" if you really want to give up.

when does the daily puzzle change on redactle-unlimited? I somehow missed #111

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 21:56 (two years ago) link

same time afaik. it's mentioned in their faq.

and if you click on one of the 111 success messages above you can play it, it's the one with a six letter world, the query param starts with a Q
