______ the ____________: Redactle

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.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 167 guesses with an accuracy of 61.68% and a time of 00:29:15.

215: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 21 guesses with 61.9% accuracy and a time of 00:03:28!

Felt like today's was a long time coming.

today’s game is very intriguing

216: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 153 guesses with 56.86% accuracy and a time of 00:09:35!

Agreed with breast. I went completely on a bit of a long tangent thanks to art @32 (even though that was only 5 hits), which made me spend too much time trying to figure out why painting terms weren't giving much back to me.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 41 guesses with an accuracy of 60.98% and a time of 00:20:38.

definitely a head scratcher and a satisfying puzzle. art was my first guess and yeah hard to get away from that tangent - I eventually hit on anatomy thanks maybe to the number of life classes I've attended.

Haha Leee I had the same red herring you did! Got it in 81, somehow.

finally got it - in 545 guesses with an accuracy of 56.7% and a time of 01:43:31. somehow I couldn’t think of the other word for corpse, I just kept filling out the blanks for fun last night. was reading an article someone posted in the US politics thread just now and suddenly the word ‘cadaverous’ was staring me right in the face. but of course!

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 38 guesses with an accuracy of 81.58% and a time of 00:13:40.

there was a clue in the text that led me to a particular country, and then it was game on straight away

66 guesses

got serbia after 21 then had no idea about the first word - not kingdom, not dukedom (though dukedom of serbia appears in the article!) - finally hit on the first word by chance, annoyed it took me so long to try it!

what was the clue?

it said “Via” (capitalized) somewhere, so I went straight for Italy/Italian (well, after I had tried Rome)

You solved Redactle Unlimited in 182 guesses with 74.73% accuracy and a time of 00:16:27!

Similar experience as ledge. Got Balkan @42 and then Serbia @46, and then I was trying political entities to get the first word (duchy? kingdom? empire? republic?). I didn't follow my usual strategy of trying the broad terms like science or history, which would've helped an awful lot today.

yesterday’s puzzle was pretty easy: 22 guesses with an accuracy of 90.91% and a time of 00:09:57.

218: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 12 guesses with 100% accuracy and a time of 00:00:37!
219: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 94 guesses with 70.21% accuracy and a time of 00:06:56! I had to arrive at this from comic books after I saw 1-4 which kind of looked like it could be X-Men, which it was.

I solved today’s game in 143 guesses with an accuracy of 66.43% and a time of 00:28:51. thought it would be really easy at the outset, a media-related thing, but that proved to be a bit of a red herring. “toy” was the breakthrough guess

took me an unreasonably long time to guess Asia yesterday, got today's in 74 after being bamboozled for ages by a company specialising in plastic injection moulding with a strong sideline in books and films.

Hahah I was stumped for a bit by todays because I was thinking "how many The ____ Movie" movie titles are there? OH WAIT" then I got it.

220: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 43 guesses with 83.72% accuracy and a time of 00:05:23!

Kind of proud of getting this one even though I was sort of throwing spaghetti against the wall at the end. I got differential pretty quickly but when equation wasn't the second word, I was pretty much out of my depth. So that's when I just tried more general math fields.

cheated to solve Redactle Unlimited in 186 guesses with an accuracy of 66.67% and a time of 00:17:31.

other way around for me - I had “geometry” at guess 12, but yeah, I don’t know anything about that sh*t, so at some point it was tentative googling time

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 12 guesses with an accuracy of 100% and a time of 00:21:36.

21 minutes? more like 12 hours. had the first word with the second guess but finding the right eight letter word was a struggle. when analysis wasn't it (after some more obvious candidates) I was stumped.

it's not a phrase I've ever heard before despite being familiar with the individual halves

221: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 51 guesses with 64.71% accuracy and a time of 00:05:09!

Small hint: the answer is a compound word so of you have two separate words, put them together.

Hahaaaaa this should have been way more obvious to me. I had all the things the answer is used for, but didn't think to link them.

124 guesses 49.19% accuracy. Too much time sodding about typing in various video game system and tech brand names lol

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 13 guesses with an accuracy of 84.62% and a time of 00:18:41.

device, light, (light) pen (in 'see also'), bingo

222: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 135 guesses with 71.11% accuracy and a time of 00:11:56! Had to cheat for the second word, since like a typical American, I couldn't remember the exact romanization, even though I know what it's called in Chinese!

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 96 guesses with an accuracy of 91.67% and a time of 00:28:21.

got there very quickly, but got stuck on the *fourth* word. thought it was about the crackdown itself because of the focus on June 4, so I couldn’t get an immediate match and went for filling out the blanks instead.

that it would be a China-related item was clear from the “**’An” giveaways in the text. thought it would be about the Terracotta Army at first!

So I would have had the answer in 30 guesses, but I spelt the main title piece wrong and was baffled why it wasnt included given all the other stuff coming up... turns out I'd typoed it grr.

Got it in 62 guesses 61.19% accuracy

cheated on the last word after 70 guesses (including three attempts plus typo to spell it right and about 15 guesses for the year, I'm bad with dates ok)

Well, this one is a bastard to do. Needless to say I had to do some googling.

Same.

took me 50 guesses to figure out what it was about, then guessed the other three types then, yep, gave up.

same here. took me ages, seemingly like longer than in any previous puzzle, to even get an inkling what this could be about. finally got to type of tissue, and then had to start googling

all in all, 253 guesses with an accuracy of 44.27% and a time of 00:47:56.

This one has me stumped! I mean I have tons of a few key words, but everything I try around them comes up empty. Weird!

224: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 1 guesses with an accuracy of 100% and a time of 00:02:13.

still got it.

ha, very good. 17 guesses with an accuracy of 76.47% and a time of 00:06:26 here.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 30 guesses with an accuracy of 90% and a time of 00:05:49. Play at https://redactle-unlimited.com/

After yesterday this was a breeze.

You solved Redactle Unlimited in 16 guesses with 87.5% accuracy and a time of 00:02:11!

I'll take it!

I got it in 41 but I should have tried the answer within 5 - I'd tried all the other parts!

Last night I dreamt that adjective was too easy so the answer had changed to adjectification (the act of turning nouns into adjectives i guess!). Maybe I need a break from the game!
