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!

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.
― ledge, Sunday, 16 October 2022 18:28 (two years ago)

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)
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.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 18 October 2022 04:06 (two years ago)
yep. more variety needed, and we're not going to get it.

― ledge, Wednesday, 19 October 2022 19:11 (two years ago)
I meant to say that I had no clue what or who this woman could be yet, and then tried to get closer through typing in her father and her, you know… and that brought me very, very close indeed

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 (two years ago)
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.
― ledge, Saturday, 22 October 2022 06:56 (two years ago)
198 in 25 (76%)
on phone Firefox the numbers aren't appearing in the boxes but further up the screen. share also appeared to do nothing (gave me 12 wrong options, then said copied, but it hadn't)

― Hideous Lump, Saturday, 22 October 2022 20:01 (two years ago)
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 (two years ago)
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 (two years ago)
unless there's a bigger clue I missed.
― ledge, Saturday, 22 October 2022 20:16 (two years ago)
well, I solved Redactle Unlimited in 86 guesses with an accuracy of 87.21% and a time of 00:43:31.
― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Saturday, 22 October 2022 20:23 (two years ago)
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
― koogs, Saturday, 22 October 2022 21:03 (two years ago)
Ledge, yes that's the one

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 76 guesses with an accuracy of 73.68% and a time of 00:36:17.maybe the longest I've gone, over 50 guesses, without getting a single word in the first paragraph. can't pretend I'm not a little bit intrigued by a book called Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion.

similar experience to you, Leee. was able to identify a lot, up and including the cliffs in Scotland, so I knew where to look for my cheating exploit, and even then it wasn’t all that easy.
― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 25 October 2022 19:47 (two years ago)
I got it but also had to cheat, once I knew what general topic it was (I was racking my brain re 8th grade geology haha).
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 25 October 2022 22:16 (two years ago)
oop sorry I should have hidden that
Cheated by consulting the DK/Smithsonian Rocks & Minerals Handbook that my child got for his birthday last month.
Somehow I feel better about cheating if I can find the answer in a book rather than online.
