______ the ____________: Redactle

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

Froze to the bone in my igloo home
Counting the days 'til the ice turns green...

#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 solved it in 189 guesses
Your accuracy was 16.40%

a shit show, as shown by the accuracy

i never remember to try food

"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!

and i don't think they are numbered anymore, but the have unique urls - Qmh1dGFu today

(spoiler for people who can do base64 decoding in their heads)

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 45 guesses and 5 minutes with an accuracy of 68.89%. Play at https://redactle-unlimited.com/#article/Qmh1dGFu

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 5 guesses and 7 minutes with an accuracy of 100%. Play at https://redactle-unlimited.com/#article/Qmh1dGFu

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...

I managed to guess this but I really didn't know he was Italian!

I don't like the clock ticking aspect of R-U. Sometime I leave Redactle and come back hours later. I guess I can just ignore it as a metric of performance.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 478 guesses and 18 hours with an accuracy of 50.42%. cheated. didn’t know any Bristol-based explorers named John, let alone ones that were actually called Giovanni. even now that I know the answer, it doesn’t ring any of my Dutch-based bells

113 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cabot

i took so long (before cheating) that it gave my time as '1 day'

for yesterday's, i suspect it helped if you went to school in canada... i didn't get there quickly, but i at least knew the name (he's more or less one of the two columbus-equivalents in canadian grade school history, along with jacques cartier)

(I'm sure i don't need to spoiler tag yesterday's redactle, but who knows, maybe there's a way to do old ones with unlimited?

#114 Congratulations! You took 12 minutes to solve Redactle Unlimited in 27 guesses with 81.48% accuracy!

got it from the rolling stones lyric

there is a way to do old versions in unlimited but i don't think you can reference them by the number, i think you need the url with the base64 title at the end ie https://redactle-unlimited.com/#article/Sm9obiBDYWJvdA==

that's what i figured, i'll probably keep that in mind for days i miss! still using redactle classic (now that it works) because i like the right column layout better (that, and it's got my old stats)

I got #113 without cheating in about 30 minutes, something about Chesapeake Bay was what got me to the right answer.

I opened the page for #114 and forgot about it for about an hour: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 208 guesses and 1 hour with an accuracy of 47.12%. Play at https://redactle-unlimited.com/#article/U2lhbWVzZV8oY2F0KQ==

solved in 2 but I completely cheated by googling the lyrics of 'under my thumb'

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 272 guesses and 1 hour with an accuracy of 54.41%. (sloppy, very sloppy)

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 141 guesses and 29 minutes with an accuracy of 69.5%. (had it as separate syllables already earlier, didn’t think of combining them)

115 was https://redactle-unlimited.com/#article/VHNldHNlX2ZseQ== tsetse fly

which i didn't get, mostly through lack of time. and that url in my phone gives me a 500 (but is ok on pc)

it doesn't give you the game number on the solve screen

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 9 guesses and 4 minutes with an accuracy of 44.44%. (thought it would be the medical ### Without ### org at first)

Same. Also, I'm not sure if luther's are aware, but Unlimited letters you click on the redacted word to show how many characters it is, which worldle helped today.

surprisingly tricky today. i'm used to the french name or msf or 'doctors without borders' but this must be the american version of that. 'doctors' got a 0

oh, there's a reason for that word getting 0...

Ugh at my autocorrect soup of a post lol.

Luther Unlimited: it’s never too much!
