"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.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 21:55 (two years ago) link

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

koogs, Wednesday, 27 July 2022 23:45 (two years ago) link

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)

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

koogs, Thursday, 28 July 2022 16:59 (two years ago) link

Huh, regular redactle loaded for me today.

an Italian explorer called John...

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Friday, 29 July 2022 07:36 (two years ago) link

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.

Michael Jones, Friday, 29 July 2022 09:40 (two years ago) link

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'

koogs, Friday, 29 July 2022 18:26 (two years ago) link

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

koogs, Friday, 29 July 2022 18:41 (two years ago) link

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==

koogs, Friday, 29 July 2022 18:44 (two years ago) link

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)

Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Friday, 29 July 2022 19:04 (two years ago) link

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==

Judd Apatosaurus (Leee), Friday, 29 July 2022 20:34 (two years ago) link

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

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Friday, 29 July 2022 21:16 (two years ago) link

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

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)

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Sunday, 31 July 2022 16:59 (two years ago) link

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.

Judd Apatosaurus (Leee), Sunday, 31 July 2022 17:06 (two years ago) link

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...

koogs, Sunday, 31 July 2022 17:15 (two years ago) link

Ugh at my autocorrect soup of a post lol.

15 guesses, might have helped in terms of random inspiration that I was on the way back from a couple of nights in Edinburgh.

Today’s Redactle was fun. Felt more of a puzzle than usual.

I solved today's Redactle (#119) in 132 guesses with an accuracy of 27.27%. Played at https://www.redactle.com/

Dan Worsley, Wednesday, 3 August 2022 17:03 (two years ago) link

my knowledge of brother beyond songs sadly letting me down here.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Wednesday, 3 August 2022 17:50 (two years ago) link

gave up after 190 guesses. I mean, it was fun closing the net as far as I did, which was to ‘one-word track on Prince’s Batman album that isn’t “Batdance” or “Partyman”’, but my brain couldn’t produce it and I was too impatient to leave it until the morning and a hopefully clearer head, so cheat I did, and sigh… but I am quite proud I correctly identified Japanese band L’Arc-en-Ciel. unfortunately I don’t know any songs by them. also, I actually own an album by that French rock band, I think.

koogs, Wednesday, 3 August 2022 20:23 (two years ago) link

has he changed things again on -unlimited?

yesterday it gave me https://redactle-unlimited.com/#article/VHJ1c3Q= which was a disambiguation page, 5 letters

today i look and it says 5 (6 7) and doesn't give a game number

koogs, Thursday, 4 August 2022 11:29 (two years ago) link

(today's daily(?) game, which should be the same as yesterday's above, is https://redactle-unlimited.com/#article/VHJ1c3RfKHNvY2lhbF9zY2llbmNlKQ== )

koogs, Thursday, 4 August 2022 11:30 (two years ago) link

ah, redactle proper is also the 5 letter disambiguation page

Judd Apatosaurus (Leee), Thursday, 4 August 2022 16:27 (two years ago) link

ok, so redactle proper #119 was trust

and redactle-unlimited started with that but then replaced it with one of the options from that page
https://redactle-unlimited.com/#article/VHJ1c3RfKHNvY2lhbF9zY2llbmNlKQ
trust (social science) AND required the words in brackets

2 guesses? you dont have to get all 3 parts?
took me 5 because i made two mistakes somehow. accidentally guessed an S, and also accidentally guessed a blank space somehow

Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Thursday, 4 August 2022 19:46 (two years ago) link

unlimited gifted me the middle part
