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.

Pretty much hit the limits of my chemistry knowledge with this one.

gave up.

cheated and solved Redactle Unlimited in 264 guesses with an accuracy of 58.33% and a time of 01:04:40. in hindsight, this was gettable after all, even for a chemistry dumbass like me. should have tried “carbonate” - I mean, I had “carbon” - and the other element wasn’t exactly obscure either

I totally went on a whirlwind trip with this one! Once I "narrowed" things down to Asia, I was still puzzled why i got so many hits for Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. I also want getting much from the first paragraph, and I was actually focused on one of the subsections when I accidentally revealed both answers.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 37 guesses with an accuracy of 67.57% and a time of 00:10:48.
”Cultural ***” led to China and Asia, the other words followed quickly from that

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 26 guesses with an accuracy of 85.19% and a time of 00:20:06.

asia then religion, lots of head scratching when all the hits for religion were in the second para and the first remained utterly obscure.

I got hits for author, film, and director, which sent me on a very wild goose chase.

Best one in a long, long while. Could see it was a man from dates. First sentence has phrase “at the ____ of his”, guessed it was Time. A little way down is italicised ‘A _____ _______ of Time’, which I guessed would be ‘A Brief History of Time’, so knew it was Stephen Hawking.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 3 guesses with an accuracy of 100% and a time of 00:05:36.

[one of the book titles looked like it might be a ____ history of ____ so I guessed that thinking it might be a historian but once the word appeared it was obvious.

ledge, Monday, 28 November 2022 18:55 (one year ago) link

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 46 guesses with an accuracy of 84.78% and a time of 00:24:04.
got to ‘A Brief History of Time’ around guess #25, but had to rack my brain for another 20 to remember who it was by and what their actual name was, because I can be slow like that

i did the exact same thing as leee, wasn't until fiction came up near empty that i was like hm let's reassess, why is time in here so much"

Clay, Monday, 28 November 2022 20:08 (one year ago) link

Got it in 33, I was on the TV/science track but when I added Star Trek and Sagan that made it click.

8, would've been 7 if my keyboard worked better

G. D’Arcy Cheesewright (silby), Tuesday, 29 November 2022 18:55 (one year ago) link

got it in 44, which frankly, my dear, is not very impressive at all.

Because of the italicized title, my first suspicion was that it was the NY Times, but seeing that that wasn't the answer but NY still had a lot of hits, I knew I was in the right place. However, I did guess "journal" thinking maybe it was an academic publication.

Rabbity Gainsborough (Leee), Tuesday, 29 November 2022 20:28 (one year ago) link

wait howdid you know re italicized?

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 30 November 2022 04:00 (one year ago) link

The boxes were slanted, in addition to the unredacted The.

Rabbity Gainsborough (Leee), Wednesday, 30 November 2022 04:07 (one year ago) link

Man I need to pay more attention haha.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 30 November 2022 06:03 (one year ago) link

First time I've played in a while I was thrown off by the italics, I don't think of italicizing newspapers

whoa, impressive! I’m quite happy to have solved this one in 130 guesses with an accuracy of 60% and a time of 00:26:47.
got “age” at 93, and then somewhat later, when I got “millions” of “years”, I thought, oh wait, “Earth” maybe? well, no, but…

2 guesses, 4 minutes

i am 4x worse at this than ledge, fact

two guesses in thirty seconds!! my best ever result by a massive margin.

I still play Wordle daily, but Redactle is the best of all the -le games, imo.

238: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 101 guesses with 41.58% accuracy and a time of 00:05:50!

I got age at 52, but I clearly needed to think bigger because I needed to get "consent" and "majority" out of my system before I tried universe, even though I noticed the +/- in the first paragraph.

thanks for telling me to, I managed it

Not me!

240: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 42 guesses with 69.05% accuracy and a time of 00:04:52! I saw the three-letter first name and guessed Ian, then rather stupidly went with McEwan (though I wasn't sure if I'd forgotten his last name). The other shoe finally dropped when I thought harder on why film had so many hits.

Being Californian, pretty easy for me.

Rabbity Gainsborough (Leee), Friday, 2 December 2022 18:20 (one year ago) link

this is why it’s always useful to scroll through the text first, annoying as it often may be, to look for clues. in this case everyone who did that (I would think) would be richly rewarded

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 2 guesses with an accuracy of 100% and a time of 00:09:04.

I guessed it almost straight away but because of the first sentence I got it into my mind that the title began with 'the' so I kept on scrolling, getting more and more confused.

ledge, Friday, 2 December 2022 19:45 (one year ago) link

I got it in 28 (lets say 25 though, I made 3 stupid typos, its too early on a saturday). Once I'd input live I got one of the titles and that gave it away.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 2 December 2022 23:51 (one year ago) link

Got it in 4, woo.
