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) link

193: Don't remember how many guesses but I got it without cheating.

194: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 161 guesses with 50.93% accuracy and a time of 00:13:04! Incredibly lucky! I've barely encountered the name and was scraping the bottom of the barrel of German names that I knew.

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.

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) link

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

no idea who her parents were! and the stuff in the secons para that turned out to be about her religious congregation made me think for ages that it wasn't a person.

ledge, Wednesday, 19 October 2022 19:11 (two years ago) link

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

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 19 October 2022 19:20 (two years ago) link

197: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 284 guesses with 52.46% accuracy and a time of 00:21:44! Clearly took me a long time to suss this one out, "record" was the what finally put me on the right track.

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) 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.

ledge, Saturday, 22 October 2022 06:56 (two years ago) link

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)

199: Dammit ledge, I was just going to gloat about getting it in 16 on only my third time Redactle-ing.

Hideous Lump, Saturday, 22 October 2022 20:01 (two years ago) link

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) 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 (two years ago) link

unless there's a bigger clue I missed.

ledge, Saturday, 22 October 2022 20:16 (two years ago) link

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) link

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) link

Ledge, yes that's the one

went through just about every 9 letter life stage before guessing women (or woman). and it didn't give me 'lives' when I guessed 'life'.

IMO a fun one to uncover today.

Fartleby the Scrivener (Leee), Monday, 24 October 2022 16:55 (two years ago) link

Gah! I have uncovered so many words and still cant quite put my finger on it.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 25 October 2022 01:12 (two years ago) link

Got it!
128 guesses 59.38% accuracy.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 25 October 2022 01:20 (two years ago) link

It was uncovering the word (STRONG HINT) capacity that twigged it for me.

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) link

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) link

oop sorry I should have hidden that

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 25 October 2022 22:16 (two years ago) link

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.

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Wednesday, 26 October 2022 04:12 (two years ago) link

I thought I'd got lucky when I accidentally typed lime instead of line - that got me to cement but then I foolishly had 70 odd guesses of building terms before the geology penny dropped. got sedimentary rock now, and yup it's cheatin' time.

A lot more inferrable than yesterday! My strategy of trying to uncover words in the first paragraph paid off when I found Notre Dame.

Fartleby the Scrivener (Leee), Wednesday, 26 October 2022 20:22 (two years ago) link

I'm just gonna post here that I have no idea what the ten letter word is, because usually when I do that it then comes to me straight away.
