That'd be pretty difficult since the topics will invariably have names that a typical spellcheck would mark as misspelled.

61 today but cheated, got the second word relatively quickly but could have played until Christmas and not got the first one.
― Dan Worsley, Friday, 7 October 2022 16:42 (two years ago) link
Same, I even uncovered the Gravity's Rainbow reference but I couldn't do anything with it.
― Kim Wipers - Youth in America (Leee), Friday, 7 October 2022 18:10 (two years ago) link
I've got the first word but can't get the second!
― ledge, Saturday, 8 October 2022 11:16 (two years ago) link
got it in 116, awful.
― ledge, Saturday, 8 October 2022 11:24 (two years ago) link
I didnt get it, and even cheating/googling took forever. Never heard of it, it feels extremely niche.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Saturday, 8 October 2022 12:46 (two years ago) link
I have heard of it, even thought of the first word seven guesses in after guessing godel, no idea why I didn't enter it.
― ledge, Saturday, 8 October 2022 13:04 (two years ago) link
OK so I have worked out WHAT today's thing is in a general sense, but I have no idea what it is called or where it is located, aside from vaguely in "central asia".
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 9 October 2022 00:15 (two years ago) link
OK I got it but I had to cheat by googling around the idea.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 9 October 2022 00:36 (two years ago) link
(143 guesses, and the answer was googled, so I cant count this one)
yeah that was a fail for me.
― ledge, Sunday, 9 October 2022 17:24 (two years ago) link
Mind you it produced some gorgeous looking google results!
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 9 October 2022 23:26 (two years ago) link
Hahah aaaaand, another one where I know what the THING is, but not the sub-category. I've tried everything I know!
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 10 October 2022 03:23 (two years ago) link
Like I have solved the "also known as" part, and that still is not helping me.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 10 October 2022 03:26 (two years ago) link
Yeah I had to cheat again too.
― Kim Wipers - Youth in America (Leee), Monday, 10 October 2022 03:54 (two years ago) link
^also wasted about 100 guesses tooling around in antiquity because I'd spotted 'nth century b.c.e.'
― ledge, Monday, 10 October 2022 06:22 (two years ago) link
Hah yeah I got put off by uncovering mentions of WARNING PARTIAL ANSWER ENCLOSED clocks and ancient history, took ages to hit engineering and then I was just putting everythingI could think of til I got it. 109 guesses.

got the second word in one, couldn't get the first despite basically uncovering the whole definition.

Christ this is as bad as yesterdays.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 61 guesses with an accuracy of 57.38% and a time of 00:25:43.that was hard! had no idea where it was going till I started on religion, and then guessed sin, still took a dozen guesses to nail it down.

188: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 43 guesses with 69.77% accuracy and a time of 00:03:57!
"better" as part of my strategy of uncovering "better known as" yielded "good" in the opening translation note, and I took a flyer on "Greek," and from there I knew it was a "eu-" word.

Congratulations! You solved Redactle Unlimited in 5 guesses with 80% accuracy and a time of 00:00:00!

holy cow! I solved Redactle Unlimited in 1 guess with an accuracy of 100% and a time of 00:05:56.very lucky: it was clear that it had to be an extremely famous (because long-ass article) Francophone author-ish person. just entered the first single-name one that came to mind without further double-checking, et voilà !

Nice, breasty!

got it in one based solely on breastcrawl's description! totally cheating but 19s fwiw

who has two thumbs, studied philosophy and can't think of this french philosopher?
― ledge, Thursday, 13 October 2022 06:21 (two years ago) link
should've focused my thoughts more on writers than philosophers.

I didn't try mathematics until pretty late and so for a long time I was expecting to be stymied by some obscure physics thing I didn't know about again.
― Fartleby the Scrivener (Leee), Thursday, 13 October 2022 17:17 (two years ago) link
I solved Redactle Unlimited in 4 guesses with an accuracy of 75% and a time of 00:04:04. spotted physics / mathematics straight away, if I'd paid more attention to "the inside of" at the end of the first para it could've been a oner.
― ledge, Thursday, 13 October 2022 17:21 (two years ago) link
Why does it keep being maths!? Again, I have loads of clues and no earthly idea of the answer.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 13 October 2022 23:11 (two years ago) link
nm I just got it, it was more straightforward than I was thinking haha.

This was really annoying as I tried "shapeshifter" and didn't get the solve, and I needed quite some time before I thought to try "shapeshifting."
― Fartleby the Scrivener (Leee), Friday, 14 October 2022 20:23 (two years ago) link
36 guesses and I know what it is but I don't know what it is. my first two were metamorphosis and transformation
― ledge, Friday, 14 October 2022 20:45 (two years ago) link
I’m at 361 guesses rn, and it has long become an exercise to fill out the complete text rather than guessing the word itself because I don’t seem to know what the phenomenon that is so clearly being described is actually called
― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Friday, 14 October 2022 21:01 (two years ago) link
loooolll! I solved Redactle Unlimited in 362 guesses with an accuracy of 61.88% and a time of 01:24:53. well, duh. I had entered both “shape” (just 13 hits) and “shift” (just 4) ages ago, just never occurred to me to connect the two. it was realising there was no etymology section that prompted me to think of something basic-English instead of things like “metamorphosis”
― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Friday, 14 October 2022 21:11 (two years ago) link
LOL if you get 192 without cheating then I will be very impressed.
― Fartleby the Scrivener (Leee), Saturday, 15 October 2022 17:51 (two years ago) link
well, I’m Dutch, so I got it, in a shameful 294 guesses with an accuracy of 70.07% and a time of 01:18:39. I mean, I got “Dutch” in 14 and “de” immediately after, so it should have been a shoe-in, this guy is one of the most famous people in Dutch history, and it just did not come to me
― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Saturday, 15 October 2022 20:24 (two years ago) link
Yeah I had to cheat by googling the name of the book that kept coming up in the article. I cant say I know this one!
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 16 October 2022 02:07 (two years ago) link
All the same, well done, breastcrawl!

even if I heard heard of him the reference to the first world war completely threw me as to the era in question.

#193 in 20, could've been 1 if I'd thought more about that first ten letter word.

68, eventually tried the first name of the only guaranteed austrian philosopher I knew even though I also knew it wasn't him and whaddya know. And I guess that dislodged the surname from my brain somehow, though I wouldn't have claimed to know his first name before.
― ledge, Monday, 17 October 2022 20:47 (two years ago) link
255 guesses with an accuracy of 56.86% and a time of 01:00:11. cheated, never heard of the guy.

Yeah I can see I'm not gonna solve this one, can the game cut it out with entries related to maths, physics, science and politics so often lol.
Cant we just have an article like "octopus" or "crop rotation" or "Madonna" ffs.

yep. more variety needed, and we're not going to get it.
