______ the ____________: Redactle

for clarification: I figured out it was a plant quite early on, at guess 23 in fact.

not sure redactle unlimited appeals tbh, event though it fixes a couple of the features. maybe i'll give it a try when the original version is disappointingly easy.

Redactle Unlimited is the same game, though? Just that it has more QOL features and is being actively worked on -- OG Redactle will probably expire some time next year, is the scuttlebutt.

which is the name of our team at work so why it took me so many i do not know

230 guesses (30% - I’ve only been this clueless once before no matter how gettable this one seemed right from the get-go. had Egypt at 79, but didn’t bother to try its capital until 191, and I had even
made a mental note of “UP” when I checked the text beforehand. but I was somehow totally convinced it was some kind of former (pseudo-) state or territory in the region)

55 / 52%. Got the first word in 18, then ages to figure out what kind of building or structure or institution it was.

> Redactle Unlimited is the same game, though?

hadn't noticed this! but is it the same guy? not sure i'm happy with some new guy asking for tips for something this close to the original.

(it's a differnet guy, ben not john)

actually, unlimited is useful given that i'm still struggling with "????? ??????????". but it won't let you type in numbers!

#97 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_University

a bust here. got the place, didn't get the thing, ran out of time.

297 / 72% - was just building up the content at an agreeable pace without really scrutinizing what I already had and then hit on the correct answer by accident!

Yeah, different creators, but the OG has basically gone AWOL (though his tip jar is still up).

68 old --> norse --> danish --> denmark --> iceland by 25 and it still took me another 40+ guesses because i'm dense

The Bodzia man carried haplogroup I1-S2077 and had both Scandinavian ancestry and Russian admixture.

yeah, thanks for that

69 - pretty slow given I figured out it was the name of a people by guess 9 - took another 30 to figure out it was a historic term, then started thinking too far back.

don't know why I never tried scandinavia as that might have sent me in the right direction.

I was peeling away, arm in the air, after a first guess of electromagnetism but somehow the 'keeper kept it out. Got it after a bit of a scramble.

Congratulations! You took 12 minutes to solve Redactle Unlimited (#99)in 119 guesses with 74.79% accuracy!

I wasn't even sure that <article title> was a real thing, but guessed it just based on what had been revealed and was pleasantly surprised

41 even though my first guess was chemistry.

#99 in 108 (7 hours and 53 minutes... not full time...) 49.07%

'chemistry' and 'electrical' after about 20, took another 90 to think to stick them together after trying every electrical component i could think of

btw, the Redactle Unlimited rendered #99 better than the original did

I solved today's Redactle (#100) in 11 guesses with an accuracy of 63.64%.

Got it in 6 with the aid of a big giveaway halfway down, I should have thought harder about the second word - spoiler tagging in case of unconscious 'second' hint!

i got both yesterdays and todays in 69 which i wish could say feels nice, but i had to cheat yesterday because i was in no way gonna get that big word and today i just floundered nowhere near the answer for ages until i realized i had... actually uncovered most of a sentence that i didn't notice while spamming? then i realized what the 3-letter word had to be, and the long word (and then i guessed first and third before second because i am a not-counting idiot)

Got #100 immediately (I took a punt on second being a more popular article than zeroth). First quick solve in a while.

but yeah i think the < halfway down broke something and showed half a sentence that it shouldn't've

64 (65%) got to the church in time (at 52), then it went fast

I got mosque after 4, at a loss now. maybe the name of a famous mosque is lurking in my brain somewhere, maybe not.

I cheated. I have heard of it, would never have guessed it.

it’s one of the most beautiful buildings I’ve ever seen in my life, the interior specifically

i have the last line of the first paragraph which says exactly what it is (after 73). i have 9 hours to remember the title words.

#101 was https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagia_Sophia

name did ring a bell but nope...

also, with unlimited, i pressed "daily" several times and got different articles, none of them matching the original. the numbers weren't working either.

and today it's not even giving me that option. but does want to waste cycles on animating the title.

37 - a bit dim, physics in one but didn't guess force till 27, and shouldn't have taken another ten after that. i blame the heat.

I can't load this page anymore ;____;

Ah nm I figured out how to go there anyway even though my browser is unhappy about it.

in one, getting a bit bored of all these science ones.

I am too, but that's because I end up having to cheat (I needed 154 guesses though).

flogging a maths horse for 96 guesses and getting nowhere

167 to solve. i wonder how Shaggy 2 Dope would have done on this one

how do they fucking work?
