202: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 205 guesses with 35.12% accuracy and a time of 00:17:11!

This one was NOT fun -- had to cheat.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 235 guesses with an accuracy of 37.87% and a time of 00:57:47.

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.

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).

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.

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.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 132 guesses with an accuracy of 70.45% and a time of 00:28:17. but of course…

You solved Redactle Unlimited in 23 guesses with 69.57% accuracy and a time of 00:01:35!

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

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.

I got the 2nd half of the answer really quickly and I dont want to cheat to solve but my history knowledge fails me here :(

Eyy got it. I was on the wrong track thinking around the Church.

75 guesses - prob wouldve got it sooner but luck of the draw on the words I'd worked out I guess.

204: I have the second word but I'm very doubtful that I can get the first.

same. and I failed yesterday's.

OMFG cheated sometimes I hate this game.

The reason I'm so bothered was because I'd already entered small and got a handful of hits, so I didn't think to try "little."

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 111 guesses with an accuracy of 54.05% and a time of 00:36:40.

I also cheated a bit after I got the second part. felt sort of vindicated when I saw that it’s also called “——- of Athena”, because I did actually try “of Athens” early on because it rang a bell. it’s also one of the species I know - I even translated its Dutch name into English (that would be ‘stone ——-‘), but unfortunately the names are not related in this case

205: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 82 guesses with 70.73% accuracy and a time of 00:08:25!

Today's might hit a little close to home for some people.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 176 guesses with an accuracy of 82.39% and a time of 00:29:27. took me waaaayy too long to get the second word, but I didn’t mind, I just kept firing every word I could think of at it to fill out the text, knowing that it would come to me sooner or later

I got this in 52 with 75% accuracy - there was a giveaway phrase halfway down that made me type "disability" and from there I worked it out reasonably well.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 35 guesses with an accuracy of 77.14% and a time of 00:33:47.

actually took me 12 hours (though i was asleep for 8 of them) to think of the second word, got it when I started typing examples and then thought of bipolar disorder..

Should have worked out todays way faster than I did. 125 guesses, 31.20% accuracy. But I got it without cheating (just a lot of cycling through options once I knew the answer was a kind of [redacted].

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 20 guesses with an accuracy of 45% and a time of 00:24:29.

thought it was a bacterial infection from the italics in the first line but yeah tough to nail down.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 87 guesses with an accuracy of 57.47% and a time of 00:24:00.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 50 guesses with an accuracy of 90% and a time of 00:30:04.

didn’t want to randomly throw (European) country and language names around - but once I started zooming in on that it was a done deal quite quickly

208: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 23 guesses with 73.91% accuracy and a time of 00:02:31!

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 5 guesses with an accuracy of 60% and a time of 00:05:26. Could've been two though, maybe even one - posted unhidden pour encourager les autres.

Haha that one threw me for a bit cos of the weird block at the start! But it became clear quite quickly what it was.
42 guesses, 51%. Wouldve been better but I typoed at least 3 entries cos I havent had my coffee yet.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 7 guesses with an accuracy of 71.43% and a time of 00:02:52.

209: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 104 guesses with 74.04% accuracy and a time of 00:08:56!

This was my jam and pretty fun to track down! Don't know how it'll play for others, though.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 91 guesses with an accuracy of 63.74% and a time of 01:12:00.

second guess philosophy, deconstruction after about 50 so kicking myself a bit.

FFS
I had the answer 10 guesses earlier, I just had it as 2 words! farrrk.

54 guesses 66%.

so yesterday’s Redactle took me 296 guesses because I only discovered today that had only ever entered POST and MODERNISM as separate prefixes/words, so I thought it couldn’t be *that word*, even though everything pointed toward it

that *I* had…

I solved today’s Redactle Unlimited in 135 guesses with an accuracy of 75.56% and a time of 00:25:15.
very easy to cut to the chase (there was a big fat clue), but then, which type? I mean, how many can one name, really? there even was a Dutch connection, but it took a geographic location for me to make good use of it, and then the English term was just a bit of a stab in the dark, but it turned out to be a hole in one. fun and games!

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 40 guesses with an accuracy of 62.5% and a time of 00:21:27.

yeah I was at a loss for a bit after getting the second word but guessing the geographical bit clinched it.

210: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 220 guesses with 51.36% accuracy and a time of 00:16:15!

breast: what was the big clue? I rarely ever find those because I don't spend much time looking beyond the first paragraph. In today's case, I needed till 218 to even guess ship, but I had Chinese by 14.

the big fat clue was aboard

oh I missed that!

Haha yes thats what helped me too. For the bit in parentheses anyway. I got it fairly quick but was racking my brains initially as to what kind (and 4 letters).

211: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 100 guesses with 73% accuracy and a time of 00:07:48! YMMV today.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 122 guesses with an accuracy of 81.97% and a time of 00:24:33. cheated with the first word, although in hindsight it might have been quite guessable with some focussed logical thinking even if like me you aren’t familiar with the term

Got this one in 8 guesses 75%! there were so many single-letter blocks I typed X and got lots of hits so went from there

Well done! I got it in 21 despite guessing e and pi after about 10.

212: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 2 guesses with an accuracy of 100% and a time of 00:01:00.

You solved Redactle Unlimited in 152 guesses with 53.95% accuracy and a time of 00:13:52! Almost had to cheat because I was stumped for a while on the second word. Physics and chem were my worst HS subjects!

I guess it won't or will rarely happen because there are no or few such articles in the top 1000 or whatever, but one on a book or film would be good - obvious structure (plot, cast/characters, production, reception), fun trying to get it from the plot.

didn't get yesterday's despite getting the first two words straight away. it's obvious now I've seen it. and got today's in 9 despite seeing a huge clue which could have made it a oner.

LOL todays had me stumped and I hit on the answer quite by accident after flailing around guessing German things and getting confused by mentions of Kraftwerk and Neu! but also a bunch of unrelated stuff. This may be enough of a clue for some people to figure it out so click with caution.
