well… let’s all do this one in two.

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.

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.

BC you're on a roll lately!

You solved Redactle Unlimited in 150 guesses with 72% accuracy and a time of 00:15:45!

Rabbity Gainsborough (Leee), Saturday, 3 December 2022 19:24 (one year ago) link

ha ha, I’m not doing badly for sure, but that has everything to do with the subject matter. as soon
as we’re back in the science fields I’ll be helpless like a baby again

I did see Xhaka crotchgrab (breastcrawl), Saturday, 3 December 2022 20:00 (one year ago) link

Got todays in 28 with 82% accuracy, nice.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 4 December 2022 02:33 (one year ago) link

AND a raging hangover.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 4 December 2022 02:33 (one year ago) link

54 despite getting that it was some kind of organisation against climate change after about 10 :/

242: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 47 guesses with 57.45% accuracy and a time of 00:05:46! I guess I should've gotten this more quickly!

Rabbity Gainsborough (Leee), Sunday, 4 December 2022 17:08 (one year ago) link

lol

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 9 guesses with an accuracy of 66.67% and a time of 00:13:48.

after guessing food I was trying to think what four letter word could go before 'up food'. heat, warm... tart??

ledge, Sunday, 4 December 2022 18:32 (one year ago) link

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 91 guesses with an accuracy of 85.71% and a time of 00:05:42. oh duh - btw, google-translating the uncovered Chinese character would have provided an instant solution

I did see Xhaka crotchgrab (breastcrawl), Sunday, 4 December 2022 18:37 (one year ago) link

73 guesses 39.73%. Was utterly flailing even after I worked out food and asia bcs it was almost too obivous lol

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 5 December 2022 00:32 (one year ago) link

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 183 guesses with an accuracy of 75.96% and a time of 00:38:15.

had the first word very in 10, so thought it would be simple, but kept thinking it was about *rb*n expansion. it wasn’t until I tried ‘peasant’ and then ‘farm’ in that context that the answer started unveiling itself.

You solved Redactle Unlimited in 77 guesses with 71.43% accuracy and a time of 00:06:25!

I got it in the opposite order: food at 55, which led to agriculture at 68. Urban came only because I saw "REDACTED, processing, and REDACTED food," so I was thinking that it involved moving farm goods to other places. Still it was a bit of a lucky guess, as I'm not particularly familiar with the term.

Rabbity Gainsborough (Leee), Monday, 5 December 2022 19:50 (one year ago) link

39, urban first and yeah the second word was a struggle, got when garden cities popped into my head, which have me 'gardening' in the first line.

ledge, Tuesday, 6 December 2022 11:15 (one year ago) link

I got the other word first so coming here for a clue spoiled it for me lol dohhh.

244: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 30 guesses with 80% accuracy and a time of 00:04:58!

I thought it might be American Gods at first, then I was trying to think of albums with American in their names, despite "rock" showing up only once and "hip" (lol) not showing up at all.

Rabbity Gainsborough (Leee), Tuesday, 6 December 2022 18:36 (one year ago) link

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 5 guesses with an accuracy of 100% and a time of 00:11:18.

well, that’s a surprise! scrolling through that long, long text I became ever more clueless. thought it would be a theatre production or something at first (“running from … to …” - actually wasn’t that far off) but then I started leaning more to sporting event (all that “the save” stuff) (also not *that* far off, really). for that reason, my first guesses were ‘match’ (1), ‘game’ (2), ‘football’ (1), and then ‘American’ (99!!!) - aha… so maybe not theatre, but… yeah.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 2 guesses with an accuracy of 100% and a time of 00:02:23.

figured it was a TV show then saw the '______ for a _________' sub title which somehow rang a bell.

ledge, Tuesday, 6 December 2022 21:23 (one year ago) link

How many times need I tell myself not to click on the spoilers here before I work it out myself gah.....

Got it in 26 guesses but mainly cos I knew I was looking for a TV show.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 36 guesses with an accuracy of 61.11% and a time of 00:09:54.

a capitalized ‘Book’ was the giveaway

I did see Xhaka crotchgrab (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 7 December 2022 20:07 (one year ago) link

I got the first word straight away and thought it was the other guy, now I don't know which guy it is thanks to my irreligious upbringing which has surely condemned me to hellfire.

ledge, Wednesday, 7 December 2022 20:41 (one year ago) link

I got the first word but I can tell you that I'm never gonna know the second word on this one it's not even worth guessing

G. D’Arcy Cheesewright (silby), Wednesday, 7 December 2022 20:44 (one year ago) link

actually it's totally gettable.

ledge, Wednesday, 7 December 2022 22:24 (one year ago) link

ledge, Wednesday, 7 December 2022 22:27 (one year ago) link

G. D’Arcy Cheesewright (silby), Wednesday, 7 December 2022 22:30 (one year ago) link

arguably I cheated, I googled a list of 'em and when his name had no epithet i saw the light.

ledge, Wednesday, 7 December 2022 22:31 (one year ago) link

uh yeah I'd say that's cheating, but I guess so is posting about it

G. D’Arcy Cheesewright (silby), Wednesday, 7 December 2022 22:42 (one year ago) link

Got it in 26, after a slight detour around ancient battles before hitting bible/biblical and then just reeling off 4 letter dudes names lol.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 7 December 2022 23:52 (one year ago) link

2, my first and probably only ever bullseye

Kept it under 100!

Rabbity Gainsborough (Leee), Thursday, 8 December 2022 04:37 (one year ago) link

Nope, not getting this.

Dan Worsley, Thursday, 8 December 2022 19:09 (one year ago) link

short ones tend to be the hardest, fewer words to guess right.

plus it’s not my subject, I did get as far as to establish that.

maybe I’ll try again later.

I did see Xhaka crotchgrab (breastcrawl), Thursday, 8 December 2022 21:36 (one year ago) link

15 guesses all 0's so far, wtf.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 8 December 2022 22:17 (one year ago) link

258 but I should've gotten it a bit sooner lol

G. D’Arcy Cheesewright (silby), Thursday, 8 December 2022 22:53 (one year ago) link

seriously, 52 guesses in and still 0 hits. What in the shit.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 9 December 2022 01:46 (one year ago) link

Got it eventually, but 125 guesses/20% accuracy and a reasonable amount of cheat googling. Bleh.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 9 December 2022 05:14 (one year ago) link

Quite a fascinating subject matter that said!

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 9 December 2022 05:15 (one year ago) link

got it in 83. I was running out of physics guesses and ideas, put my phone down and went to bed but my subconscious went to work on "without any loss of kinetic energy" and "helium" and came up with it a minute later!

ledge, Friday, 9 December 2022 08:08 (one year ago) link

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 8 guesses with an accuracy of 75% and a time of 00:06:45. Meh.

ledge, Friday, 9 December 2022 20:16 (one year ago) link

Kevin got it in 18, I had to cheat at 163. We have some, er, different specialties.
