considering i spent all last week on a ward named for this you'd think i'd do better than 41 but pretty sure i just play this game wrong!

I didn't get yesterday's without cheating, despite living in the state in which it is located.

missed or wasn’t able to complete several games, but I solved Redactle Unlimited #324 in 85 guesses with an accuracy of 61.18% and a time of 00:20:07.

on the wrong track at first, geometry, then physics, and then suddenly a new trajectory became clear - but I just entered the first word that came to mind in this context, without thinking that it would be the solution

no hits for physics but I tried 'force' anyway, then 'gravity' looked plausible.

323 in 16, 'writer'- no idea. 'nature' - ah right.

The unredacted AN in the pronunciation guide made me think Asia, but of course that term didn't show up at all.

I solved Redactle Unlimited #325 in 8 guesses with an accuracy of 37.5% and a time of 00:06:44.

the pronunciation guide should have given the game away but there sure are a lot of five letter cities in five letter countries.

ledge, Saturday, 25 February 2023 17:23 (three years ago)

yeah, that unredacted AN threw me in a similar way as Leee. there was another huge giveaway-ish clue in there tho, a capitalized “Via” that showed up several times

Pretty weak stuff near the bottom:a Chesapeake Bay racing canoe; and a female miniature horse working as a therapy horse inside hospitals and hospice programs!

ledge, Sunday, 26 February 2023 19:47 (three years ago)

lol @ the second spoiler, I actually did uncover part of that! I saw a song by _____ Smith and tried Patti, and as a follow-up tried "horse." "Game" and then "role" were key to getting this, even though they don't give that many hits.

there was also the Canadian pop-reggae band with an exclamation mark! so terribly bad that I had blocked them from my memory. a Kylie single from a very recent album. a single from fellow Dutchies O’G3NE. zillions of radio stations named after it. but I.just.could.not.think.of.it. if only I’d gotten that ONJ clue!
anyways, when I checked SNA, without me knowing my eyes just happened to catch this thread title: Magic: The Gathering C/D, and my brain lit up

I definitely think I could've gotten a hole-in-one today, since the Biblical angle was pretty apparent. But like the heathen that I am, I couldn't think of many 4-letter people/things until I warmed up a little.

yes, the Bible angle was apparent, but I was convinced it would be a concept (like ‘grace’ or something, my first guess)

thought I had depleted my well of big F***** writers of this particular period, but oops, forgot about this big fish initially. also forgot Redactle doesn’t do non-English plurals, because damn it, I had the right word for their most famous title, but it didn’t accept it the singular

interesting one. took me over 20 guesses to get anything meaningful in. confusingly, words like ‘country’ and ‘city’ didn’t return any hits, which wrong-footed me quite a bit. what would one be without the bible?

Same experience as BC. I got water @ 3 and sea @ 5, but the lack of hits for city/country actually had me considering that we were actually looking for something on the moon, i.e. the Sea of Tranquility. Cardinal directions helped disabuse me of that, though after I tried the Tigris and the Euphrates, I was kind of afraid that I'd exhausted my knowledge of Middle Eastern rivers.

world, new, spanish, gold, then hit a brick wall (might have got further if I'd guessed jewel instead of jewellery) but then saw what looked like 'worn' and then 'hat' in the first line.
