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.

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.
― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 25 October 2022 19:47 (two years ago) link
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).
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 25 October 2022 22:16 (two years ago) link
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.

A lot more inferrable than yesterday! My strategy of trying to uncover words in the first paragraph paid off when I found Notre Dame.
― Fartleby the Scrivener (Leee), Wednesday, 26 October 2022 20:22 (two years ago) link
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.
― ledge, Wednesday, 26 October 2022 21:13 (two years ago) link
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 :(
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 26 October 2022 23:31 (two years ago) link
Eyy got it. I was on the wrong track thinking around the Church.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 26 October 2022 23:41 (two years ago) link
75 guesses - prob wouldve got it sooner but luck of the draw on the words I'd worked out I guess.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 26 October 2022 23:42 (two years ago) link
204: I have the second word but I'm very doubtful that I can get the first.
― Fartleby the Scrivener (Leee), Thursday, 27 October 2022 17:45 (two years ago) link
same. and I failed yesterday's.

OMFG cheated sometimes I hate this game.
― Fartleby the Scrivener (Leee), Thursday, 27 October 2022 18:04 (two years ago) link
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

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
― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Friday, 28 October 2022 21:31 (two years ago) link
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..
― ledge, Saturday, 29 October 2022 07:04 (two years ago) link
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 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

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 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.

FFSI had the answer 10 guesses earlier, I just had it as 2 words! farrrk.
54 guesses 66%.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 2 November 2022 04:44 (one year ago) link
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
― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 2 November 2022 20:17 (one year ago) link
that *I* had…
I solved today’s Redactle Unlimited in 135 guesses with an accuracy of 75.56% and a time of 00:25:15.very easy to cut to the chase (there was a big fat clue), but then, which type? I mean, how many can one name, really? there even was a Dutch connection, but it took a geographic location for me to make good use of it, and then the English term was just a bit of a stab in the dark, but it turned out to be a hole in one. fun and games!

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 40 guesses with an accuracy of 62.5% and a time of 00:21:27.yeah I was at a loss for a bit after getting the second word but guessing the geographical bit clinched it.

breast: what was the big clue? I rarely ever find those because I don't spend much time looking beyond the first paragraph. In today's case, I needed till 218 to even guess ship, but I had Chinese by 14.

Haha yes thats what helped me too. For the bit in parentheses anyway. I got it fairly quick but was racking my brains initially as to what kind (and 4 letters).

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 122 guesses with an accuracy of 81.97% and a time of 00:24:33. cheated with the first word, although in hindsight it might have been quite guessable with some focussed logical thinking even if like me you aren’t familiar with the term

Got this one in 8 guesses 75%! there were so many single-letter blocks I typed X and got lots of hits so went from there
