199: Dammit ledge, I was just going to gloat about getting it in 16 on only my third time Redactle-ing.

Do they often leave a big clue unredacted, or does the program have trouble reacting hyphenated words?

do you mean round-up? I guess it treats each word separately and they are (or can be) prepositions so it doesn't redact them.

unless there's a bigger clue I missed.

well, I solved Redactle Unlimited in 86 guesses with an accuracy of 87.21% and a time of 00:43:31.

got it in one from ledge's clue

i think the problem is more that both parts of 'round-up', 'round' and 'up' are givens

Ledge, yes that's the one

went through just about every 9 letter life stage before guessing women (or woman). and it didn't give me 'lives' when I guessed 'life'.

IMO a fun one to uncover today.

Gah! I have uncovered so many words and still cant quite put my finger on it.

Got it!
128 guesses 59.38% accuracy.

It was uncovering the word (STRONG HINT) capacity that twigged it for me.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 76 guesses with an accuracy of 73.68% and a time of 00:36:17.

maybe the longest I've gone, over 50 guesses, without getting a single word in the first paragraph.

can't pretend I'm not a little bit intrigued by a book called Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 105 guesses with an accuracy of 87.62% and a time of 00:32:53. definitely a nice one to play!

202: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 205 guesses with 35.12% accuracy and a time of 00:17:11!

This one was NOT fun -- had to cheat.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 235 guesses with an accuracy of 37.87% and a time of 00:57:47.

similar experience to you, Leee.

was able to identify a lot, up and including the cliffs in Scotland, so I knew where to look for my cheating exploit, and even then it wasn’t all that easy.

I got it but also had to cheat, once I knew what general topic it was (I was racking my brain re 8th grade geology haha).

oop sorry I should have hidden that

Cheated by consulting the DK/Smithsonian Rocks & Minerals Handbook that my child got for his birthday last month.

Somehow I feel better about cheating if I can find the answer in a book rather than online.

I thought I'd got lucky when I accidentally typed lime instead of line - that got me to cement but then I foolishly had 70 odd guesses of building terms before the geology penny dropped. got sedimentary rock now, and yup it's cheatin' time.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 132 guesses with an accuracy of 70.45% and a time of 00:28:17. but of course…

You solved Redactle Unlimited in 23 guesses with 69.57% accuracy and a time of 00:01:35!

A lot more inferrable than yesterday! My strategy of trying to uncover words in the first paragraph paid off when I found Notre Dame.

I'm just gonna post here that I have no idea what the ten letter word is, because usually when I do that it then comes to me straight away.

I got the 2nd half of the answer really quickly and I dont want to cheat to solve but my history knowledge fails me here :(

Eyy got it. I was on the wrong track thinking around the Church.

75 guesses - prob wouldve got it sooner but luck of the draw on the words I'd worked out I guess.

204: I have the second word but I'm very doubtful that I can get the first.

same. and I failed yesterday's.

OMFG cheated sometimes I hate this game.

The reason I'm so bothered was because I'd already entered small and got a handful of hits, so I didn't think to try "little."

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 111 guesses with an accuracy of 54.05% and a time of 00:36:40.

I also cheated a bit after I got the second part. felt sort of vindicated when I saw that it’s also called “——- of Athena”, because I did actually try “of Athens” early on because it rang a bell. it’s also one of the species I know - I even translated its Dutch name into English (that would be ‘stone ——-‘), but unfortunately the names are not related in this case

205: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 82 guesses with 70.73% accuracy and a time of 00:08:25!

Today's might hit a little close to home for some people.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 176 guesses with an accuracy of 82.39% and a time of 00:29:27. took me waaaayy too long to get the second word, but I didn’t mind, I just kept firing every word I could think of at it to fill out the text, knowing that it would come to me sooner or later

I got this in 52 with 75% accuracy - there was a giveaway phrase halfway down that made me type "disability" and from there I worked it out reasonably well.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 35 guesses with an accuracy of 77.14% and a time of 00:33:47.

actually took me 12 hours (though i was asleep for 8 of them) to think of the second word, got it when I started typing examples and then thought of bipolar disorder..

Should have worked out todays way faster than I did. 125 guesses, 31.20% accuracy. But I got it without cheating (just a lot of cycling through options once I knew the answer was a kind of [redacted].

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 20 guesses with an accuracy of 45% and a time of 00:24:29.

thought it was a bacterial infection from the italics in the first line but yeah tough to nail down.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 87 guesses with an accuracy of 57.47% and a time of 00:24:00.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 50 guesses with an accuracy of 90% and a time of 00:30:04.

didn’t want to randomly throw (European) country and language names around - but once I started zooming in on that it was a done deal quite quickly

208: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 23 guesses with 73.91% accuracy and a time of 00:02:31!

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 5 guesses with an accuracy of 60% and a time of 00:05:26. Could've been two though, maybe even one - posted unhidden pour encourager les autres.

Haha that one threw me for a bit cos of the weird block at the start! But it became clear quite quickly what it was.
42 guesses, 51%. Wouldve been better but I typoed at least 3 entries cos I havent had my coffee yet.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 7 guesses with an accuracy of 71.43% and a time of 00:02:52.

209: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 104 guesses with 74.04% accuracy and a time of 00:08:56!

This was my jam and pretty fun to track down! Don't know how it'll play for others, though.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 91 guesses with an accuracy of 63.74% and a time of 01:12:00.

second guess philosophy, deconstruction after about 50 so kicking myself a bit.

FFS
I had the answer 10 guesses earlier, I just had it as 2 words! farrrk.

54 guesses 66%.

so yesterday’s Redactle took me 296 guesses because I only discovered today that had only ever entered POST and MODERNISM as separate prefixes/words, so I thought it couldn’t be *that word*, even though everything pointed toward it
