Also in two. That's six of the last nine in ten or fewer guesses, four of those solved immediately. Am I just starting to think in Redactle? Will I lose other skills as a result? Oh wait...

I got stuck on statistics for the first ~40 guesses until I guessed system at 45, which then led to solar and mass, though I couldn't get away from math till 66 when I did force > weak > nuclear, then I was like, "Oh no, science again."

4 guesses in and i think i'm gonna have to cheat to get the second word... the only 5 letter word i can think of is "waste"
― ✖, Wednesday, 25 May 2022 20:32 (two years ago) link
yeah i cheated. i was feeling so good at first. could see "is the process by which" at the top, so definitely science, and "was discovered in (4 letter year so you know it's not ancient history)" and rightly guessed "curie" for the second name. "radioactive" was as far as i could get on my own

lol at the tempting-looking list at the bottom that turned out to be a list of japanese names that were impossible to guess otherwise terrible. went around the entire world, including 'asia' and didn't get much. finally tried china and that opened it up

had nothing to latch onto until i hit king and realized there was probably a "lear" after one of them. flailed around a bit until i hit arts, noticed that martial might fit before, and since i had typed "no" earlier (a word i guess i never realized wasn't automatic?) i saw a XXXX-no-XXX construction a couple of times and thought oh, japanese seven letters martial arts ok lets try this

I got #50 in 85 guesses with 89% accuracy! "war" is one of the first words I guess unless it's obvious that the topic is not a human; the fact that there was only one word before the instances of "war" made me deduce that it predates the 20th century, and "england" and "europe" and "jewish" and "rome" were either blank or minimal. I got "China" and "Japan" fairly soon after. At some point, after getting a lot of filler words in, I got the phrase "Japanese popular culture," and then noticed a verb was a 3rd person plural as opposed to singular, and so I guessed "their" and "they" ... and I got it by starting with popular terms

― Alba, Thursday, 26 May 2022 19:21 (two years ago) link
verb was a 3rd person plural as opposed to singular, there was a similar clue on the second word, 4 letters, couldn't be is or are, had to be plural AND past tense, were. unfortunately that just made me think templars 8(

105 guesses. For some reason it took me forever to get the leap from China to Japan. (Not much of a leap.)

100 guesses in, still completely in the dark. It's almost thrilling. I know I'm going to be disappointed when I get it.
― buffalo tomozzarella (ledge), Friday, 27 May 2022 21:15 (two years ago) link
Got it in 158. I ruled out novels and art and animals but other than that had no idea, so rather than guessing different topics I tried getting as many general filler words as possible to see if anything popped out at me. Turns out that's not a great strategy. Having guessed 'can' and 'do' and 'does' early on I couldn't shake the feeling it was something that had agency. I was also confused Private Eye turned up, maybe that should have pointed me towards libel and the law but shortly after that I guessed 'right' which led me to 'constitutional' and then law. Still took me over 30 guesses from there.
― buffalo tomozzarella (ledge), Saturday, 28 May 2022 08:03 (two years ago) link
Finally it hit me, at guess 443! Similar to ledge, I was completely in the dark until guess 94, where I got “law”. Filled up a litany of blanks, but I guess my (English) legalese just isn’t strong enough. The new day did wonders for me tho. I had stopped at 413 last night, but only needed another 30 today. Result!

#52 in 2. First guess was just to make sure I was in the right area, and then it's just counting letters in the various categories of country, city, language, local name for that city, etc.

I solved today's Redactle (#52) in 9 guesses with an accuracy of 77.78%. Played at https://www.redactle.com/
I went with the golf approach this time to see if I could hack it, and apparently I can in I try. And while it's satisfying to post something under 10 guesses, I do miss the feeling of exploration I get from the "uncover full sentences" approach.
The blanks seemed to describe a capital city (@1) that also has some superlative characteristic ascribed to it, and so I tried area @2 to try to see if it was on the larger or smaller side (which was inconclusive), and so I threw away a guess of smaller @4 to follow up with largest @5. Then I counted(!) 6 letters in the answer and having previously confirmed that it was in Europe (@3, then European at 7), my first thought was Madrid, which was dumb because then I counted the letters in its country, but it did show up so I figured it had to be on the Iberian Peninsula.
