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

I solved Redactle Unlimited #322 in 6 guesses with an accuracy of 66.67% and a time of 00:07:23.

had to cheat for #323 got most everything, but even with one hint I knew I was never going to guess this person’s name. looked them up, and no, never heard of

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.

I solved Redactle Unlimited #325 in 8 guesses with an accuracy of 37.5% and a time of 00:06:44.

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

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

Really hate articles like today's.

Had to really scrutinize the game section, spare at it is.

i got 'Olivia Newton John song from xanadu' v early but sadly am not familiar with that work.

Pretty weak stuff near the bottom:a Chesapeake Bay racing canoe; and a female miniature horse working as a therapy horse inside hospitals and hospice programs!

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.

I solved Redactle Unlimited #327 in 12 guesses with an accuracy of 83.33% and a time of 00:06:24.

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

I solved Redactle Unlimited #327 in 15 guesses with an accuracy of 86.67% and a time of 00:12:02.

I thought of the answer after my first guess (god) but yeah I thought it was a concept not a name too :(

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

i had an idea but couldn't remember the guys name - kept on thinking of baudrillard - but I thought there was a trail of dead song about him so I googled the lyrics for that, lol

serious blindspot, I kept thinking he was spanish or italian, even when those didn't pan out it didn't occur to me he might be french.

interesting one. took me over 20 guesses to get anything meaningful in. confusingly, words like ‘country’ and ‘city’ didn’t return any hits, which wrong-footed me quite a bit. what would one be without the bible?

Same experience as BC. I got water @ 3 and sea @ 5, but the lack of hits for city/country actually had me considering that we were actually looking for something on the moon, i.e. the Sea of Tranquility. Cardinal directions helped disabuse me of that, though after I tried the Tigris and the Euphrates, I was kind of afraid that I'd exhausted my knowledge of Middle Eastern rivers.

also had to cheat. once I knew the state, I was able to pick the right city from the cover of the travel guide on this place I bought secondhand ages ago because it was beautifully illustrated

Interesting article today! Only missed on 3 words.

I thought it was something high level, maybe an academic subject, but guessing 'science' was the key for me too.

world, new, spanish, gold, then hit a brick wall (might have got further if I'd guessed jewel instead of jewellery) but then saw what looked like 'worn' and then 'hat' in the first line.

I got new right away, but I rather naively hoped that it was a US state despite evidence to the contrary. Still, I'm kind of satisfied how quickly I course-corrected.
