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

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

good old 'species' does the trick

fish

I even got “derived from Latin for ‘sp*n*’” at some point, but yeah, I was hunting for fish

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

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 3 guesses with an accuracy of 66.67% and a time of 00:12:20.

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.

it was a sitter and i skyed it over the bar - 9, 66.67%.

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

I knew the thing it was, but there's so many of said thing with 7 letters I wasted quite a few tries lol.

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 don't love these ones that start out like semantle but mustn't grumble.

I only post itt when I nail it, to brag

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 3 guesses with an accuracy of 100% and a time of 00:12:54. a bit of a fluke, had no idea until I typed it and might have done less thinking and more guessing if I hadn't seen silby's post!

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).

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 11 guesses with an accuracy of 81.82% and a time of 00:21:03. had to think for a while after I got 'four footed', could only think of quadruped.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 244 guesses with an accuracy of 70.08% and a time of 00:54:01.

to my eternal shame, I had to look up the (Ancient)
Greek 4 4, but I had fun filling out the blanks

Buckle in, it's going to be one of those Redactles...

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.

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.

play on the laptop?

Here's another bug:
Checking the actual Wikipedia article, the first sentence reads "Earth's outer core is a fluid layer about 2,260 km (1,400 mi) thick". Redactle has rendered 2,260 km and 1,400 mi as the first digit + the given comma + the rest as one word, with an embedded space. Thing is, if you enter "260 km" or "400 mi" into the search box, whether on laptop or iPad, Redactle strips out the space and enters the guess as "260km" and "400mi" - which, of course, returns zero results.

Those of you who managed to solve it: what device were you on?

no bugs whatsoever here, nothing out of the ordinary
- well, actually there was, an actual full-colour representation of the subject at hand appeared once I’d solved the puzzle, that has never happened before
I’m on my iPhone.

Desktop, Redactle-Unlimited, no problems, although I had to enter the "s" after the apostrophe separately from "Earth" -- "earth's" returned 0 hits.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 35 guesses with an accuracy of 42.86% and a time of 00:33:46. no bugs. just a bit dim.

the separate s after an apostrophe is standard practice tho - it is on my end anyway

xp to Leee

I noticed a Hint 0/3 button--is that new?

I had no effing idea what todays was til I looked at some clues here. Yeah I think the hints are new? First ive noticed them

oh, you’re right. don’t think I ever saw that before (although I didn’t notice it was there today either, so who knows)

So, people are seeing an apostrophe already there on the grid, then entering Earth and s separately? I don’t have that, just a solid seven character grey block for the first word. I can fill in the whole three word title, but without redactle marking it as solved. That’s on laptop, iPad and also iPhone (I just checked).

Which site are you using? Original hasn't been maintained and certain articles have broken it to various degrees in the past. https://redactle-unlimited.com/ should let you win, as I and number of other people who use it have beaten it today.

Yeah stop using redactle.com if you are - it is shit when something's oddly formatted.

Aha, that’ll be it, hadn’t picked up on the URL change, thank you!

I solved Redactle Unlimited #300 in 3 guesses with an accuracy of 66.67% and a time of 00:09:32.

should be an easy 1 for anyone but me. I got the concept right away, but I picked an incorrect term instead of the blindingly obvious one

Got it in 19, should have hit it in 12 but got the spelling wrong, used colour instead of color, and got sidetracked.

lollllll I was incredibly stuck on this being a franchise, even though "franchise" itself doesn't appear in the article!

Super roundabout journey for me: Disney with 7 eventually led me to Snow White, which led to black-and-white, which led to color.

forced myself to stay focused until I had the answer ready. I was looking somewhere else at first, but adjusted my course in time
