I'd recommend switching over to Unlimited if for no other reason than that it's being actively worked on and improved (at least ostensibly), whereas the original's creator has completely vanished.

Had to cheat to get the middle word of the answer. 119 guesses with 60.5% accuracy and a time of 01:11:28!

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 18 December 2022 07:26 (one year ago) link

I'm pretty sure the answer was the same in both places - my bookmark was to the original but i swapped to unlimited and they were both the same 3 word title but i didn't look too far down

i didn't see ledge's left left left stuff. is it parsing the math source (mathml? latex?) as words?

koogs, Sunday, 18 December 2022 08:13 (one year ago) link

yeah something like that. a complete red herring - i was thinking is it instructions for logo, or a turing machine?

so the 'as food' section was somewhat misleading.

The low accuracy was cos "food" was one of my early matches, complete red herring!

well, that wasn’t hard, in 2.

after scanning the introductory paragraph my provisional answer was A***** F*******, but then that big fat clue came along.

I should NOT have taken as long as I did to get this one considering there was a blatant album name clue.

had no idea where this was going, I got ‘writer’, but that was clearly not their main occupation. but tried ‘Chicago’ and that triggered that very occupation for some reason

I had no idea who it was and shouldnt have clicked on the clues here cos that immediately gave it away haha.

Cheated today, got the second and fourth word fairly quickly but was never going to get the first.

Dan Worsley, Wednesday, 21 December 2022 17:34 (one year ago) link

Cheated too, as that first word is, as far as I can tell, a proper noun.

Rabbity Gainsborough (Leee), Wednesday, 21 December 2022 17:50 (one year ago) link

I kind of regret hiding that in spoiler tags now as I may end up saving people the time getting that word, because here's me:

got the second word in 31 (the third in one) don't know where to begin for the first.

ledge, Wednesday, 21 December 2022 19:18 (one year ago) link

decided to cheat after 134 guesses. had the meat and bones at 16, but I was not very likely to ever get the juice.

tried some informed guesses, but it turns out I was on the wrong track for that anyway. had somehow surmised from the text I had unraveled that this would be a newish uni, contrasting with the then-established (religious) one(s). the name definitely rings a bell, but it would never have come to me

the shaker intro bit the shaker outro in the tail, hard (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 21 December 2022 19:48 (one year ago) link

Final word in 1, second word in 48, then cheated after 62.

mike t-diva, Thursday, 22 December 2022 00:58 (one year ago) link

Yeah that one was a non starter for me, had to cheat the first word too.

whoa, didn’t see that one coming! “act” turned out a winner, which led to “commit”, which led to… - but I had no idea it would be the actual answer

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 18 guesses with an accuracy of 61.11% and a time of 00:06:11.

first three guesses were genus, animal, plant, but getting the right one was pure fluke.

should I stay or should I cheat, that’s the question, because I know this is about the national flower of Mexico, but I don’t think I know what is the national flower of Mexico

the shaker intro bit the shaker outro in the tail, hard (breastcrawl), Friday, 23 December 2022 20:42 (one year ago) link

so I did google ’mexican flower’ and who’d have thunk, huh?

also, I was dumb for not picking up on the ‘D. xxxx’ type subspecies names that were all over the text

papal hotwife (milo z), Saturday, 24 December 2022 19:01 (one year ago) link

felt like cheating because I clicked to find out how many letters were in the title words before I started

papal hotwife (milo z), Saturday, 24 December 2022 19:01 (one year ago) link

I got this one without cheating but my browser screwed up and didn't expose the solved page before I refreshed the page and lost all my stats. I think I got it in around 50?

Maybe this is a sign of my broken brain at the moment (I'm getting over a cold) but I saw the 3-letter second word and didn't think it was a regnal number because no way there could be a hundred of whoever it was.

Strong clues within Worked out it was a regent relly quickly but then had no idea which era/numerals, and also the King Arthur bit was quite the red herring.

A quick 10, was hoping for it to take a bit longer tbh (we are at the “crap telly with the in-laws” stage of the day).

the a, REDACTED, and REDACTED bit immediately pointed to math, and then it was a matter of figuring out if it was a formula or equation.
