______ the ____________: Redactle

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.

i knew there was something i had to do today... 18 minutes...

#105 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diphtheria

(remembered i had started it at about 3am this morning, got me just enough to cheat)

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.

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.

#106 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprinidae

(NB this is still live for another 8.5 hours or so)

25 of those were yesterday, a punt this morning got the last two words in two...

one hit for sport?

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.

in 40 for me

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.

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

piss!

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

By far my best result ever, I think

107 was https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League
108 was https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre-Dame_de_Paris

same.

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.

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

Michael Fish perhaps

^ deserves more imo

#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.

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

Today in 7.

#110!

"You have requested a site that is currently offline."

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

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.

1 minute, 10 guesses! i will miss my old stats from redactle original but i guess this is the better way to play :(

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 90 guesses and 11 minutes with an accuracy of 82.22%. Play at https://redactle-unlimited.com/#article/Qmh1dGFu

9 guesses,100% (I landed on the unhyphenated site.)

"You are playing today's daily puzzle (#111)" is that new?

anyway 111 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhutan

is nice that it provides a link to the original, saves me typing some words

3, damnit. went for north first.

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

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

specifically
111 https://redactle-unlimited.com/#article/Qmh1dGFu

(and curiously i can't find the faq anymore, maybe i was thinking of the unhyphened site)

#112 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Sea

am doing badly on unlimited. couple of days running now i've not found the answer / found the time.

Huh, regular redactle loaded for me today.

maybe he spent some of his 600 a month patreon money on a new certificate

an Italian explorer called John...
