I solved Redactle Unlimited in 1 guesses and 14 minutes with an accuracy of 100%. Play at https://redactle-unlimited.com

Some of that time was spent cajoling children into the bath. It was the first four letter sciency term i thought of, wasn't at all sure how it fitted with the rest of the first para but it provided a good second word so I went for it.

Congratulations! You took 2 minutes to solve Redactle Unlimited in 6 guesses with 100% accuracy!

best i've done in a long long time

I had "fourth president" and "father of the constitution" by guess 40 or so, but it took me until 185 to get the name. Had it been any of presidents 1 through 3 I would have known, but the fourth eluded me for a long time. (I'm Canadian).

he's changed the url format and so i can't just base64 decode the answer if i'm running late. anyway some american president, James Madison

um, redactle-unlimited 'daily' is giving me #126, yesterday's
and redactle original is giving me a blank page

it's trying, i can see it looking for the relevant page, but it times out.

I was able to play 127, ultimately had to cheat though.

#127 was https://redactle-unlimited.com/#g/en-Q576338 and was broken for a large part of the day

Japanese_invasions_of_Korea_(1592–1598)

also had to guess the dates in the brackets, lol

Well I've got today's also known as...

OK duh. 6 guesses. Went for what I thought was the inspired guess of magnetic north first, then atlantic, then antarctic.

so yeah, what *is* the other name of that ocean?

wait when did we get a fifth ocean

#128 was https://redactle-unlimited.com/#g/en-Q7354
Southern Ocean

Congratulations! You solved Redactle Unlimited in 17 guesses with 76.47% accuracy and a time of 00:19:12!

not a phrase i think I've ever used before

oddly i had the opposite problem to all of you by the sounds i got Southern quickly, after Antarctic but i was too land-centric in other guesses. also very confusing use of ° symbol

ha, turns out I never tried “Southern” - thought I did, but that was “southernmost”

I like the time function on RU - play for accuracy, play for fewest guesses, play for quickest time.

really I just play to solve, don’t care about any of the metrics

Re: yesterday's, I got religion in my second (lucky) guess but got no further and ran out of time, what was it?

Ancient Celtic Religion

Let's see if I can write this post without it becoming autocorrect soup again: I just found out that you can long touch or right click on a redacted block and RU will pop up an annotation menu that lets you enter in text that will then show up in the body without it counting as a guess (though neither will it reveal that block).

I guess another way of describing that is that it's like the pencil feature of online sudoku.

130: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 115 guesses with an accuracy of 49.57% and a time of 00:37:36.

I really should've looked more closely at the person's name, which would've saved me dozens of guesses as tried every inhabited, non-Australian continent before landing in the Middle East.

Yay! I solved Redactle Unlimited in 26 guesses with an accuracy of 73.08%. Yes, it was clear it was a person, probably a politician (even though that turned out to be a zero-hit guess), from the Arab world. Decided to start from Egypt, which gave me more than enough to work with.

131: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 103 guesses with an accuracy of 44.66% and a time of 00:11:59. Spent a couple dozen guesses trying to figure out the author of what seemed like a YA or children's story, but then father -> mother -> sex led me pretty quickly to the right answer.

wasn't sure what the 14 letter word was but had the sense of something philosophical or psychological or religious, then I saw what looked like id and ego.
