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.

I got new right away, but I rather naively hoped that it was a US state despite evidence to the contrary. Still, I'm kind of satisfied how quickly I course-corrected.

I figured it was the world's second (or fourth) largest island, size was obvious, but that didn't help much. only ruminating on likely three letter words got me there. (I couldn't even have sworn the answer was an island!)

I solved Redactle Unlimited #339 in 21 guesses with an accuracy of 76.19% and a time of 00:11:04.

thought of island too late, and then thought of ‘New Foundland’ first - which isn’t even the right orthography (and only the world's 16th-largest island apparently)

i couldn't get the continent let alone country, thought the date might be much later due to the time of birth being specified. guessed peter after a while, took another while to get the right version.

had no idea about this phase of PT/BR history whatsoever btw

Like ledge, I spent a lot of fruitless time in Europe until I finally tried Portugal, and since medieval didn't turn up, that all led pretty quickly to Brazil. But getting dude's name was a lucky guess, because I've watched YTs on this era but the first name barely lodged itself in my brain.

so proud of myself for getting this one so quickly with zero knowledge about this kind of stuff. got the second word in 8, the first word just came up in my brain, didn’t even know it was a real thing, but I guess I must have picked it up somewhere

Yeah I'm on a 3-day Had To Cheat streak. :\
