I had to cheat today as it's the technical term for something I know of in more everyday terms.

Rabbity Gainsborough (Leee), Saturday, 31 December 2022 21:05 (one year ago) link

Yeah same. I knew what this was, by all the other sentences I'd revealed. I'd never heard of this term for it though. Not a word I know at all.

Solved in 101 guesses with 69.31% accuracy and a time of 00:54

But that was only after I was googling the nitrogen cycle in plants and spotted a long word and tried it on the off chance, lol.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 1 January 2023 03:58 (one year ago) link

never heard of the word or what it signifies.

Pretty sure that time isn't right!

Rabbity Gainsborough (Leee), Sunday, 1 January 2023 19:14 (one year ago) link

139 guesses, about 12 hours! very frustrating.

a typical wikipedia opening para which is technical, precise, correct, and utterly bewildering. I basically had everything I needed after 80 guesses but was stuck thinking about technical psychological terms.

A bit annoyed at myself for not scrolling down to the definitions section which has that "by *°" that basically gives the game away.

another one where 'water' was the key.

ledge, Monday, 2 January 2023 18:02 (one year ago) link

What was yesterdays, I didnt end up solving it! Loads of references to god and faith and yet I couldnt figure it out.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 3 January 2023 00:33 (one year ago) link

It's the opposite of one of those things. You can still play out here: https://redactle-unlimited.com/#Q34302

Gahhh! Why did that never occur to me! thanks Leee.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 3 January 2023 01:04 (one year ago) link

for todays:
You solved Redactle Unlimited in 62 guesses with 38.71% accuracy and a time of 00:18:51!

LOL I had the answer right in my face, but had been thrown by 2 things:
WILL PROB GIVE AWAY ANS WARNING
I mispelled Celsius and wondered why the fuck it wasnt in the article.
I was thinking in metric terms so the answer didnt occur to me despite staring me in the face and having the j word equivalent.

oh lol, so my ‘duh’ moment last night proved right after all, only I had spelled it “datedly” (ending in -y instead of -ie, which gave me just 5 hits). in hindsight, this should actually have been pretty easy to solve

today’s puzzle feels like trolling

the shaker intro bit the shaker outro in the tail, hard (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 3 January 2023 18:31 (one year ago) link

I got the first word on my first guess, took me another 138 before completing it.

Dan Worsley, Tuesday, 3 January 2023 19:06 (one year ago) link

first word in 1 here too, currently at 77

the shaker intro bit the shaker outro in the tail, hard (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 3 January 2023 19:21 (one year ago) link

it’s kind of lame that this Wikipedia entry is about a specific list, but the list itself is not included in the puzzle

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 173 guesses with an accuracy of 22.54% and a time of 00:34:19. lol that wasn’t so hard after all!

had actually been thinking of trying the e-word (in its general sense, wasn’t thinking of this specific use) but kept forgetting

the shaker intro bit the shaker outro in the tail, hard (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 3 January 2023 19:46 (one year ago) link

also tried all the letters of the alphabet, because I wanted to find that zymbol - not that finding the anzwer actually helped me at all

bc: I did the exact same thing, and given that the symbol is also used in math, it sent me off on another wild goose chase.

Also, boo at Unlimited for not revealing a pluralized word after I entered the singular noun.

I spent a LOT of time trying to in Central and South America and the Caribbean. Also words like that first one are often the most slippery/easy to forget for me.

sort of similar. was thinking Aramic, pretty close, but I ran the biblical gamut before I thought of E-land

LOL ledge I'm happy with MY guesswork! I can recognize (if not read) East Asian scripts and was pretty sure that the unredacted characters belonged to some ancient Near East script, in which case I was afraid I'd be SOL because I only know of a handful of non-Abrahamic deities. Thankfully I tried out Egypt, which was a much easier row to hoe.

Rabbity Gainsborough (Leee), Friday, 6 January 2023 20:15 (one year ago) link

btw - and I’m not sure whether I should hide this or not, but I will (it’s just a warning tho, there’s no clues or spoilers in there): the first paragraph of today’s puzzle is a scrambled mess - compare here with the actual Wikipedia entry

the shaker intro bit the shaker outro in the tail, hard (breastcrawl), Friday, 6 January 2023 20:21 (one year ago) link

Huh, when I opened R-U it didn't look all that scrambled -- I played in a desktop browser, though.

Rabbity Gainsborough (Leee), Friday, 6 January 2023 20:25 (one year ago) link

I’m on the phone. do you mean you don’t see it at all?

looks ok to me on android/chrome.

so that's how that happens.

ledge, Friday, 6 January 2023 20:40 (one year ago) link

I mean that it looked well-formatted and not scrambled or mangled. It did show three unredacted characters in the parentheses in the intro sentence, which was a hint in itself.

Rabbity Gainsborough (Leee), Friday, 6 January 2023 20:41 (one year ago) link

it runs some sentences from right to left instead of left to right - but when I wanted to c+p it here to show you what it looks like on my iPhone, it was back in regular order lol.

(that is, it rearranges as soon as I paste it)

I still cant work out yesterday's though, the one with the technology/computers/internet shit all over it.
