______ the ____________: Redactle

got today's in 79, threw myself off because "artist" didn't give me much -- didn't expect "painter" for the primary listed occupation. once i got his last name, i cheated because i couldn't remember his first name and had already guessed a few wrong italian first names

#134 is https://redactle-unlimited.com/#g/en-Q5669 Sandro Botticelli

got second word in 61 but i wouldn't've got the first word in about 100 years

135: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 225 guesses with an accuracy of 68.89% and a time of 00:19:05.

135 in 48, took me five guesses to get philosophy, another 41 to get political - too fixated on actual philosophy.

#136 is https://redactle-unlimited.com/#g/en-Q33196

136 - 18/20 in 32 seconds

and absolute dumb luck with the word at 20 - got female, birth and human and thought maybe embryo would get me closer to the correct word

20 guesses in 32 seconds seems astonishingly fast! I got it in 14 and more than a few minutes of thinking time, i wasted a lot of guesses on every five letter ordinal for the fifth word in the first sentence.

137: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 72 guesses with an accuracy of 52.78% and a time of 00:11:35. I think I was pretty fortunate here because I guessed Prince Edward earlier (PEI being the only Canadian island I could name), so I was primed to try other British royals.

44 guesses with 52.27% accuracy and a time of 02:02:14!

was focussing on a paragraph in the middle and didn't realise i had 2/3rds of the title already...

I've been getting lazy, cheated on yesterday's after getting island in one and guessing Canada not long after. Then got today's in 18 after setting off at a canter, I think a hole in one would be possible though.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 35 guesses with an accuracy of 77.14% and a time of 00:13:17.

Paris was my second hit and I thought I was looking for a church or district in Paris for a few guesses

139: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 229 guesses with an accuracy of 42.36% and a time of 00:27:59. For the longest time I was focused on sports because I got bunch of hits for ball/balls, and even when I tried bullet, I kept thinking of sport shooting, before I started zoom out a bit.

140: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 3 guesses with an accuracy of 100% and a time of 00:00:42.

Am I turning into a golfer?!?

Well done! I got it in 7, couldn't decide between Franco or Austro or something else entirely, guess I'm not so good with pre 20th century wars.

You solved Redactle Unlimited in 8 guesses with 100% accuracy and a time of 00:01:02!

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 17 guesses with an accuracy of 94.12% and a time of 02:33:30.

Prussian war didn't narrow in down much. hits for austro- and danish- before settling on the answer

my time is terrible because it was spread between two bouts of thunder induced insomnia

To answer my question: no, I am not a golfer.

141: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 60 guesses with an accuracy of 26.67% and a time of 00:05:29. Like I always do, I chased down math terms to a very dead end, before biology put me on the right track.

You solved Redactle Unlimited in 78 guesses with 16.67% accuracy and a time of 00:26:43! got here in the weirdest way, just getting nowhere, throwing everything at the wall, got a hit on "Paint" and then it was over pretty quick, but not how i expected!

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 168 guesses with an accuracy of 38.1% and a time of 12:44:23.

The triple eludes me again. First 17 guesses without a single hit, lost for ages even after I got color; when I finally got horse (via skin) I still had to sleep on it. Thrilled to learn that mr ed was a palomino called bamboo harvester.

similarly no hits for ages and then a bit of a toehold with colours, although gold and white? can't think of anything particularly gold and white

#145 is https://redactle-unlimited.com/#g/en-Q203507

a lot of very long german words in yesterday's. I didn't get it either, gave up after getting law and executive branch of government.

Had to cheat to get today's. :(

145: got to 100 and cheated. never heard of it

good start for today's. have now got the yips trying to think of a second guess.

I should note that this is the third day in row where I had to cheat.

#145 was https://redactle-unlimited.com/#g/en-Q203507 amorites

which i didn't get guess 1 was sumerian and then nothing else despite knowing it was past tense group of people. i know the name from the bible? or maybe the paint!

yeah another cheat for me.

Huh, I'm not sure how I feel about this new feature:

Guesses match various words which have the same root meaning (e.g. walk and walking).

146: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 172 guesses with an accuracy of 55.23% and a time of 00:13:07.

Didn't need to cheat this time.

146: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 26 guesses with an accuracy of 65.38% and a time of 00:10:06. I approve of the new smart matching!
