bc: I think there was a wine-related Redactle, which sticks in my mind because other folks mentioned that guessing France/French was a big hint.

52, badly written and misleading first para imo - that's right it's their fault I did badly.

first sentence, rather. first clause in particular.

Same, ledge, and bothered enough by it that I didn't bother pushing my score yesterday.

I think three US states are six letters long, and the two word sequence that looked like North America ruled out Hawaii. So it was a toss up between Oregon and Alaska, and that hyphenated word probably should've tipped me towards the latter, but I went with the former instead.

a curiously short article. u.s. > army. I was guessing random letters for the three letter abbreviation, I'd written off the two letter ones as i.e. or e.g.

I got lucky, I figured the key was the "an" rather than "a" in the first sentence and hit a lucky early try that solved it.

I thought at first that I was looking for a 19th century English philosopher, but thankfully I started naming monarchs and Elizabeth I was a big hint.

got thrown because I don't think of Bacon's political offices first but there was enough overlap to catch some hints

I thought it was Francis Drake, but that then helped me work it out!

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 23 January 2023 23:51 (one year ago) link

Hah, I actually entered Walsingham because I was chasing down the Elizabeth trail and was pleasantly surprised at the number of hits for Francis.

first guess was wasted, I could see the word would be too short, but I needed it to really focus. have to say tho, the phrasing of the “bordered by” part threw me.

I had some early hits for Hebrew which is close-but-no-cigar enough to have spent a lot of fruitless guesses. I got a bit lucky when I decided to try the House of Saud, even though both of those resulted in only 1 hit each.

The formula really threw me off, as nothing showed up for number, mathematics, physics, or rate. I did uncover radius, but I still struggled to do a hard mental reset when old and year returned some key hits.

I cottoned on to the ancient world aspect straight away, the formula was a headscratcher but the article seemed to be about an object. i tried to work out what it was made of, after hits for 'clay' the first word was an obvious choice.
