I feel pretty lucky to have gotten this in as few as this is the type of article that I usually have trouble with. Water, again, was the big hint.

water, indeed. couldn’t think of the right English word after I got two related words earlier on and thought it would be a more specific word anyway, and then it took another 20 guesses for it to come to me

Strangely I got the second word relatively quickly @123, and only got to the first word after trying different names of political units (duchy, republic, kingdom, etc.).

BC: I think that it was History of South America?

Also, I'm not particularly fussed because I live in the triple digits so much (I actually prefer chipping away at the article), but maybe we should be more careful about calling other people's performance as bad? TBF I didn't get malice out of that comment but I kind of want to make sure that everyone feels free to share how they did in the game without judgment.

I got heart @60 but disease came back with a lot of hits so I went off in that direction before trying study @209, at which point I should've scrolled back to the intro paragraph.

So maybe ledge was right about me. ;)

considering i spent all last week on a ward named for this you'd think i'd do better than 41 but pretty sure i just play this game wrong!

on the wrong track at first, geometry, then physics, and then suddenly a new trajectory became clear - but I just entered the first word that came to mind in this context, without thinking that it would be the solution

no hits for physics but I tried 'force' anyway, then 'gravity' looked plausible.

323 in 16, 'writer'- no idea. 'nature' - ah right.

The unredacted AN in the pronunciation guide made me think Asia, but of course that term didn't show up at all.

the pronunciation guide should have given the game away but there sure are a lot of five letter cities in five letter countries.

ledge, Saturday, 25 February 2023 17:23 (one year ago) link

yeah, that unredacted AN threw me in a similar way as Leee. there was another huge giveaway-ish clue in there tho, a capitalized “Via” that showed up several times

ledge, Sunday, 26 February 2023 19:47 (one year ago) link

lol @ the second spoiler, I actually did uncover part of that! I saw a song by _____ Smith and tried Patti, and as a follow-up tried "horse." "Game" and then "role" were key to getting this, even though they don't give that many hits.

there was also the Canadian pop-reggae band with an exclamation mark! so terribly bad that I had blocked them from my memory. a Kylie single from a very recent album. a single from fellow Dutchies O’G3NE. zillions of radio stations named after it. but I.just.could.not.think.of.it. if only I’d gotten that ONJ clue!
anyways, when I checked SNA, without me knowing my eyes just happened to catch this thread title: Magic: The Gathering C/D, and my brain lit up

I definitely think I could've gotten a hole-in-one today, since the Biblical angle was pretty apparent. But like the heathen that I am, I couldn't think of many 4-letter people/things until I warmed up a little.

yes, the Bible angle was apparent, but I was convinced it would be a concept (like ‘grace’ or something, my first guess)

thought I had depleted my well of big F***** writers of this particular period, but oops, forgot about this big fish initially. also forgot Redactle doesn’t do non-English plurals, because damn it, I had the right word for their most famous title, but it didn’t accept it the singular
