______ the ____________: Redactle

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!

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!

the rain on my screen interfered with my layout and my joke, but it’s still sort of intact

well…

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 9 guesses with an accuracy of 77.78% and a time of 00:07:42. let’s just say this one wasn’t very difficult

Got it in 25, I will say by accident but it was clear right away what the general area was so I was inputting ...relevant stuff.

23, took me a while to hit the right area.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 24 guesses with an accuracy of 75% and a time of 00:11:16.

wow, that was unexpected. it seemed like the text said the word was derived from a Latin word meaning ‘birth’ and so, working from the root I was familiar with, I thought maybe ******?, although I had never been aware of that etymology before. and eh… bingo!

Good work, I lucked into it to after 15 though in a less highbrow fashion - had a lot of hits for ------- world, *****al world seemed likely so I just entered the noun form.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 147 guesses with an accuracy of 46.26% and a time of 00:27:47. but I cheated because no, I don’t know any Canadian islands, apart from Newfoundland

I know baffin and some with stupid british royal family names but yeah.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 126 guesses with an accuracy of 92.06% and a time of 00:37:17.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 25 guesses with an accuracy of 84% and a time of 00:11:51 but I thought of it about ten guesses earlier. always guess what you're thinking!

What was Saturday's one (the one with world/universe/space clues littered about)? I never did work it out.

nature (that was Friday’s tho, Saturday’s was Banks Island)

ha yes and thankyou. I would never have worked that out wtf.

I solved today's Redactle (#229) in 69 guesses with an accuracy of 75.36%.
Europe at #8, European at #11, then I twiddled around with economic and financial stuff until hitting bank at #67 and investment at #69. I did not know that such a body existed - and I used to do IT for investment banks, which shows you how much I was paying attention...

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 12 guesses with an accuracy of 91.67% and a time of 00:11:08. needed a couple of guesses for the middle word, but all in all an easy one - what with all the € clues

You solved Redactle Unlimited in 197 guesses with 47.72% accuracy and a time of 00:13:12!

Not so easy for this American: I needed till 150 to get "bank", as I kept thinking that it was a skyscraper or something. Then I got European, but had no clue on the middle word, so I actually ended up brute-forcing my way to figuring out that the acronym is EIB.

I'm european and I cant get it :(

well I guess technically i'm not anymore, maybe that's why.

what was it then?

(looks at hidden text) ugh

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 1 guesses with an accuracy of 100% and a time of 00:13:53!!!!!

awesome. I on the other hand am a doofus. I solved Redactle Unlimited in 28 guesses with an accuracy of 64.29% and a time of 00:18:20.

You solved Redactle Unlimited in 56 guesses with 71.43% accuracy and a time of 00:02:52!

Gah. Another one I should have got 20 guesses sooner than I did (as soon as I guessed the country). I was thrown by having found music/theatre/church.

BC how did you get it in one ffs!

it was an informed guess!

and since you asked for it, the thought process behind it went sth like this:
from the introductory section I got very strong “capital city” vibes right away - a city with a non-English name, as indicated by the italicized box between brackets right behind its English Wikipedia name there. so it could be basically any capital city in the world (but notably, not an Arab one, because an Arab city name would have a definite article prefixed to it, like “al-“, or even a visible “an-“)

btw, the capital city vibes thing was fresh in my mind from the day before, but there it got me fooled when it turned out to be “investment bank” instead - my first guess there had actually been “city” iirc

in this case tho, the short climate section (clear from the visible °* degree symbols) confirmed that this was about a geographical entity.

but then, scrolling further down to look for any kind of clue, inadvertent or not, all I came across, surprisingly and confusingly given my first impression, were a) several instances of capitalised “The” within a sentence (probably indicating names of specific locations in this city) and b) several £ symbols. this very strongly suggested not just an English-speaking country, but one that was part of the UK. hey ho!

returning to the top of the page, ‘Edinburgh’ seemed to fit the length of the box (I never check the letter count), as opposed to ‘London’, ‘Cardiff’ or ‘Belfast’. result!

still, it all hinged on the capital city hunch being right, and I hadn’t bothered to scrutinize it - I could have fallen flat on my face, once again. so yeah, it was an informed guess and I got lucky.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 71 guesses with an accuracy of 45.07% and a time of 00:32:48.

fluked the second word in 10, fluked the first as well.

found the second word at 194. onwards and upwards!

You solved Redactle Unlimited in 410 guesses with 29.76% accuracy and a time of 00:28:35!

*sigh* cheated to get the second word.

I'm hitting about an 80% fail rate so far and NO idea whatsoever what this one is :(

OK ot it after some minor googling and chance word-flailing, but I have NO idea what this thing is, never heard of it.

186 guesses, 25.81% accuracy. terrible.

232: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 37 guesses with 64.86% accuracy and a time of 00:04:44!

A palate cleanser compared to yesterday!

Yes much easier :) 28 GUesses 75% this time.

49 - book was my first guess but it took me another 40 to get to character.

I’m back to being a mere mortal - I solved Redactle Unlimited in 77 guesses with an accuracy of 84.42% and a time of 00:15:13.
