190: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 102 guesses with 59.8% accuracy and a time of 00:07:15!
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.

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.

Why does it keep being maths!? Again, I have loads of clues and no earthly idea of the answer.

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."

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 (one year 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

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”

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

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!

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.

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.

I need a clue for todays, I'm circling around the examples in songs and literature and I think its throwing me off?
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Saturday, 22 October 2022 00:00 (one year ago) link
a clue... start from scratch, try different subjects. I hadn't heard of any of the songs, they're not contemporary classics for sure. the four letter thing that it is is very common indeed, comes in three main varieties.

Do they often leave a big clue unredacted, or does the program have trouble reacting hyphenated words?
― Hideous Lump, Saturday, 22 October 2022 20:05 (one year ago) link
do you mean round-up? I guess it treats each word separately and they are (or can be) prepositions so it doesn't redact them.
― ledge, Saturday, 22 October 2022 20:15 (one year ago) link
unless there's a bigger clue I missed.

got it in one from ledge's clue
i think the problem is more that both parts of 'round-up', 'round' and 'up' are givens
