Had to cheat today, goes to show selling quarter of a billion records doesn’t mean international fame.

same although even if i'd heard of her i might not have got it as i couldn't think of a three letter word that goes before 'singer' :/

didn't get yesterday's either despite getting the first word in one, when a plausible candidate for the 15 letter word in the first para somehow popped into my head.

Transport eventually led to ship, and I'd already had oil/petroleum by then.

4 but I cheated - after getting ship & one wrong guess I thought eh fuck it and searched for a list of ship types.

got a #429 yesterday evening that had already been solved for me, weirdly enough - an earlier one, I think, for “census”. it’s only this morning that I’m getting the actual #429

yeah same

I solved Redactle Unlimited #430 in 13 guesses with an accuracy of 84.62% and a time of 00:18:03.

could have been under 10 if I'd thought a bit harder about what 'my ding-a-ling' deals with.

or indeed had 'sex' as my first guess, but I went for 'art' instead and got sidetracked.

I got today’s in 11, I came to the answer embarrassingly quickly.

those movie titles gave it away (A T R and M W T C)

so yeah,

the answer is clear, but what’s the official name? I have a feeling it’s going to be a familiar word or at least ring a bell (does it start with an m?), but I probably won’t be able to come up with it myself. will fill up the blanks some more for now

I solved Redactle Unlimited #432 in 46 guesses with an accuracy of 56.25% and a time of 00:29:25. Hints used: 3

never heard this word before in my life

I solved Redactle Unlimited #432 in 125 guesses with an accuracy of 70.4% and a time of 00:37:13. Hints used: 2

oh yeah,

forgot about the hints, thank you ledge! so, not an m-word at all. the first part is crossword-familiar, but as the name for an individual species, not the family as a whole

computer > video (was thinking games) > picture > movie > moving. wasn't thinking I had the answer when I typed it in.

does this word really need a wiki page? seems more like a job for wiktionary. also - Two-dimensional images may be created through optical devices – such as cameras, mirrors, lenses, telescopes, microscopes, and natural objects and phenomena, such as the human eye or water. - er, what?

water can function as a mirror, so reflections

oops welp forgot how hide works sorry

yeah i guess that's what they're going for but to stick mirrors and cameras and telescopes *and* the human eye in there seems like a ball of confusion. don't all images require the human eye ultimately? does a telescope really make an image? if a reflection of a mountain in a lake is an image, what about the original mountain? just a terrible paragraph. lol nearly submitted with i instead of h tags myself.
