Got the first part relatively quickly, but had to cheat to get the years in the title.

um, redactle-unlimited 'daily' is giving me #126, yesterday's
and redactle original is giving me a blank page

#127 was https://redactle-unlimited.com/#g/en-Q576338 and was broken for a large part of the day

Japanese_invasions_of_Korea_(1592–1598)

also had to guess the dates in the brackets, lol

Well I've got today's also known as...

OK duh. 6 guesses. Went for what I thought was the inspired guess of magnetic north first, then atlantic, then antarctic.

so yeah, what *is* the other name of that ocean?

wait when did we get a fifth ocean

#128 was https://redactle-unlimited.com/#g/en-Q7354
Southern Ocean

Congratulations! You solved Redactle Unlimited in 17 guesses with 76.47% accuracy and a time of 00:19:12!

not a phrase i think I've ever used before

oddly i had the opposite problem to all of you by the sounds i got Southern quickly, after Antarctic but i was too land-centric in other guesses. also very confusing use of ° symbol

ha, turns out I never tried “Southern” - thought I did, but that was “southernmost”

I like the time function on RU - play for accuracy, play for fewest guesses, play for quickest time.

really I just play to solve, don’t care about any of the metrics

Re: yesterday's, I got religion in my second (lucky) guess but got no further and ran out of time, what was it?

Ancient Celtic Religion

Let's see if I can write this post without it becoming autocorrect soup again: I just found out that you can long touch or right click on a redacted block and RU will pop up an annotation menu that lets you enter in text that will then show up in the body without it counting as a guess (though neither will it reveal that block).

I guess another way of describing that is that it's like the pencil feature of online sudoku.

130: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 115 guesses with an accuracy of 49.57% and a time of 00:37:36.

I really should've looked more closely at the person's name, which would've saved me dozens of guesses as tried every inhabited, non-Australian continent before landing in the Middle East.

Yay! I solved Redactle Unlimited in 26 guesses with an accuracy of 73.08%. Yes, it was clear it was a person, probably a politician (even though that turned out to be a zero-hit guess), from the Arab world. Decided to start from Egypt, which gave me more than enough to work with.

which i'm still playing. weekends, eh?

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 41 guesses with an accuracy of 51.22% and a time of 00:19:56.
dismal.

#129 answer was ancient Celtic religion

cheated in the end although i had the bones of it

131: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 103 guesses with an accuracy of 44.66% and a time of 00:11:59. Spent a couple dozen guesses trying to figure out the author of what seemed like a YA or children's story, but then father -> mother -> sex led me pretty quickly to the right answer.

wasn't sure what the 14 letter word was but had the sense of something philosophical or psychological or religious, then I saw what looked like id and ego.

133: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 1 guesses with an accuracy of 100% and a time of 00:00:12.

My first hole in one!

first hole in one here too! still using classic like a rube, but probably took me just a little longer than you!

18 seconds for me, I thought someone might be quicker!

#131 (monday) was https://redactle-unlimited.com/#g/en-Q131246 oedipus complex - 78 guesses with 46.15% accuracy and a time of 47:16:55! (lol)

Thought it was Pi at first, but reading it pretty obvious was a mountain.

2 guesses with 50% accuracy and a time of 00:44:14!

went with 'io' after seeing the title...

134 in 7. Guessed it was an Italian painter, tintoretto and caravaggio the first two that came to mind. then wasn't sure I'd get his first name but pulled it out of somewhere.

got today's in 79, threw myself off because "artist" didn't give me much -- didn't expect "painter" for the primary listed occupation. once i got his last name, i cheated because i couldn't remember his first name and had already guessed a few wrong italian first names

#134 is https://redactle-unlimited.com/#g/en-Q5669 Sandro Botticelli

got second word in 61 but i wouldn't've got the first word in about 100 years

135: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 225 guesses with an accuracy of 68.89% and a time of 00:19:05.

135 in 48, took me five guesses to get philosophy, another 41 to get political - too fixated on actual philosophy.

#136 is https://redactle-unlimited.com/#g/en-Q33196

136 - 18/20 in 32 seconds

and absolute dumb luck with the word at 20 - got female, birth and human and thought maybe embryo would get me closer to the correct word

20 guesses in 32 seconds seems astonishingly fast! I got it in 14 and more than a few minutes of thinking time, i wasted a lot of guesses on every five letter ordinal for the fifth word in the first sentence.

137: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 72 guesses with an accuracy of 52.78% and a time of 00:11:35. I think I was pretty fortunate here because I guessed Prince Edward earlier (PEI being the only Canadian island I could name), so I was primed to try other British royals.

44 guesses with 52.27% accuracy and a time of 02:02:14!

was focussing on a paragraph in the middle and didn't realise i had 2/3rds of the title already...

I've been getting lazy, cheated on yesterday's after getting island in one and guessing Canada not long after. Then got today's in 18 after setting off at a canter, I think a hole in one would be possible though.

Paris was my second hit and I thought I was looking for a church or district in Paris for a few guesses
