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

Today, however:

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.

We had a puzzle hour at work which left my brain drained, so I appreciate having an easy Redactle today.

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.

The World War hints led me astray and I thought of businesses/inventions/modes of transportation before going broader.

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.

I enjoyed this one, since it's a subject I'm already on interested and familiar with, which made the pace of uncovering the article really fun (if in my case short).

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 solved Redactle Unlimited in 15 guesses with an accuracy of 53.33% and a time of 00:13:10. 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.

👽…and I had to cheat too, as I wasn’t familiar with the second word nor with the phrase/concept, not in English anyway

that’s a lie, I’ve heard of A*l R*s*!

Oh, that's weird: I've solved it, but Redactle hasn't confirmed it, so the remaining blanks haven't been filled in.

G. D’Arcy Cheesewright (silby), Monday, 30 January 2023 19:55 (one year ago) link

That was on a laptop. On an iPad, it won't accept the first word at all.

The first word on the laptop is Earth's. However, it also appears twice in the body text as earth’s - different punctuation, y'see. On the laptop, the former character is generated from the keyboard, whereas on the iPad is the latter. I've sent the alternative spellings to myself so that I can paste them in, which works... but Redactle still doesn't mark the text as solved.
