I was stuck on Europe but eventually landed in Canada/Alberta, but I needed to take the hint to figure this one out -- at least it was just the first syllable in the pronunciation guide so it doesn't feel too cheaty.

this is driving me bananas

I thought about tweeting at the creator that the smart matching is broken now, but they seem to have deleted their Twitter. It's like the Curse of Redactle or something.

there's a link to their new testing layout on the top of the redactle page the last few days. i went over to their reddit and in the new version "Smart word matching is working again"

pretty befuddling, this one. got the first word very quickly, but after that? I got hits for Moon, several planets, Africa, later Russia - so where was it situated? tried “Antarctica” at 123, and then checked for confirmation that it was indeed named after the Russian word for ^redacted^

'the coldest temperature' near the bottom gave me Antarctica - not that it helped as i took a hint to get the actual name, doubt I would have otherwise.

smart matching def not working like it used to in the standard version. had to use a separate “named” (4 hits) besides “name” (1 hit) today, for ex.

Similar experience to bc: "species" and "Homo" being in the first paragraph led me down an extremely unproductive rabbit hominid hole, and I was extremely confused by the number of hits for WWII, China/Chinese, Japan, AND the US, which I should've been enough to move me away from ancient humans.

had the key word buzzing in my head already, but a lot of my focus went to the balancing act I was doing between the old Redactle and the test version

the loss of smart matching in the old version is terribly annoying, but the test version leaves many (most?) of the common function words covered, which means you have to think of entering things like “and” and “at”, which is a drag as well.
