______ the ____________: Redactle

7 was pretty lucky tbh subscripts made me try a few chemistry words, but 'atomic' and 'chemical' and a couple of others were a bit blank - states seemed a good direction, and picked gas first. You can see liquid and solid in the first sentence if you've got that & then I just made myself stop guessing and think.

#36 in 40. Not bad - was slightly thrown by what looked like a a section heading consisting of a single character, which turned out to be a comma and not a hearing at all

275, 36%

Handed my iPad over to Kevin after 59, and he got it in just two more. That’s my boy.

23 today, vague sciencey words until I hit a run of liquid->gas->bubble->foam

i had gas very early but then went down a pressure / density cul de sac

Koogs, I'd be especially impressed if you filled in a few of the forumulae by typing lower-case rho ;) I wasted a few attempts there because I assumed they were H2, O2, etc.

I got stuck with pressure too, and fill in those subscripts was a stupid idea which led me into x-rays and particle physics

I made the same assumption, Michael - and looking again, glad I didn't try to check it.

will attempt this one at lunch, you guys are putting pressure on me to try harder and looking forward to the day i get a <100 guess win

100 guesses in and not one word found that's over 10 hits

maybe this afternoon

250 but i end up cheating and looked at all your hidden text haha

#36 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam

gah. fifth guess is a typo.

I solved today's Redactle (#37) in 156 guesses with an accuracy of 51.28%.

I don't really try to do this, as I don't think I'd have as much fun playing it that way. I'm perfectly content to post triple-digit guess counts!

I solved today's Redactle (#37) in 160 guesses with an accuracy of 47.50%.

I cheated on this one once I knew what kind of thing I was looking for, I tried basically all the categories of things I could think of, but I never would have got it.

another good (ish) start but ground to a halt. will sleep on it.

(unfortunately current attempt is on the work laptop which won't be on tomorrow, so that'll bugger the stats)

25 today, also cheated because i knew exactly what i was looking for but just didn't know the word - got eukaryote/invertebrate/animal/plant/fungus early and i was like "well i don't remember the name of the other one so i either cheat or don't finish")

After 13 guesses I have, I'm pretty sure, the whole first sentence, though I haven't actually guessed all the words. I still can't think of what the answer is.

by 'guessed' I mean entered in.

yeah, 6 guesses and I feel like I should be able to get it but I can't quite grab the thing itself

i'm the same after a dozen guesses. i have basically the entire meaning of the thing but no idea what to call it.

yup, cheated after 22 guesses, vague possibility i once heard this word in 10th grade biology but i certainly didn't keep it around

20 guesses + cheated here, too. definitely don't think i've heard this word before, or if i did, i'd forgotten it. protozoan was my closest guess but that one got 0 hits

re: ✖'s last post
i am almost 100% confident i never heard this in school -- and looking at the kingdoms now i can maybe see why? circa 1998 here is what i remember: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_(biology)#Summary

I am at 292 guesses and the word is just escaping me ... I keep hoping that word association will trigger that memory of 10th grade biology class but so far I have remembered plasmodium, slime molds, and have gotten nowhere

> After 13 guesses I have, I'm pretty sure, the whole first sentence, though I haven't actually guessed all the words. I still can't think of what the answer is.

isn't the first word usually a repeat of the title?

Foam is...
Meryl Streep is...

yes, but I couldn't be bothered to type out 'the first sentence apart from the first word which is the same as the title' on my phone.

cheated after 13, never heard of it. thought of protozoan but that was too long, overnight the best my brain could come up with was microbe.

A similar story to the previous day; this time, I struggled to 174 and Kevin added just nine more on top.

Farewell my 2 day hot streak - gave up after reading the nopes in this thread. Right to stop - quickly got the gist as above - kingdom that isn't animal, plant, fungus - and just burned through a dozen or so words that might get me somewhere. Like ledge, microbe was my best shot. And, like ledge, I just do not know this word.

don't think I'm going to get this one

Gave up. Didn’t know word.

fail also

got animal very early and then immediately spotted the not. tried the obvious not animals and they were also nots, which didn't leave much.

dug up some words that i figured were vaguely connected amoeba, protozoa, mycology (0), cytoplasm, phylogeny. woke up this morning sure the answer was microbe...

Didn't know the word, finally cheated by looking up a list of kingdoms, finding protista, and guessing that protist was a word.

#37 was https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protist which i don't think anybody got

I got 37, mostly without cheating (I googled something, entered biological even though I'd already figured out the not animal, plant, fungus angle).

I solved today's Redactle (#38) in 98 guesses with an accuracy of 62.24%. Played at https://www.redactle.com/

finally one to brag about

Redactle (#38) in 8 guesses with an accuracy of 100.00%

struggling. lack of domain knowledge again

58, 62%
was aiming more for real world religious figures/history rather than foundational

8 for me too

I kind of like it better when it drags on for a bit, staring at the blobs to discern sentence structure feels meditative, except when it's a word I've never heard of obv

just typing random biblical names and words in the vain hope of getting somewhere.

omg I'm so dense. I had abrahamic by about guess 10. somehow took me another 138 to get it. I shouldn't try to play before the kids are in bed.

Redactle #38 in 1 🏅

y'all are amazing. I was gonna brag about getting #38 in 19 guesses ... the fact my name is Sarah was a factor in my success tbh; I didn't actually guess my name

#38
You solved it in 113 guesses
Your accuracy was 63.72%
Globally, 4462 players have solved today's Redactle so far

lots of Bible in that article

Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaims, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.

#38 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham

#39 i am surprised that Wet Leg have a wikipedia entry...

153, 66% - I knew blood sucking insect pretty quickly but I didn't think of using bug... also didn't know that bed bugs were blood suckers.
