Weird one for me today, I thought it might be music related because the X/X had me thinking time signature, so I tried meter and it uncovered a lot of single M words, clearly as abbreviation for the unit of length, which sent me in a fruitless direction until I actually just entered music.

"A music video, sometimes abbreviated to M/V," ... wtf ... "is a video that integrates a song or an album with imagery" who wrote this shit? I spent ages wondering what let it be, this town ain't big enough for both of us, under pressure, like a virgin, and beat it have in common that could be abbreviated _/_ because music video sure as hell isn't.

yeah, that was weird

Noun
M/V (plural M/Vs)

On a whim I tried band, which got me the general area, but I needed the "hardening" hint to get me all the way.

obviously an american boxer, obviously I ain't getting it.

"Species" led me astray, even after I guessed "tooth" on a lark, I kept thinking animals. I only got onto the right track after trying "material."

quite alarmingly, I appear not to be familiar with the English name/word for this extremely common
thing. just filling the cavities here, so to speak - I’m currently at 246/400. grinding on…

I solved Redactle Unlimited #371 in 53 guesses with an accuracy of 52.83% and a time of 00:35:26.

was momentarily confused after getting 'tooth' when no actual tooth names had any significant hits.

Unfortunately the 3 hints allowed me to look at the "also known as" hint so I got it in like 5 lol.

haha of course I know that friggin’ word, but considering I couldn’t even conjure up “false” teeth, my brain clearly wasn’t in prime working order after a long day at work. thank you Trayce for triggering my knowledge centers into action!

three guesses to know im not gonna get this one.

Same, I've uncovered this person's claim to fame but there's no way I'm getting their actual name.

same here, got to where I needed to be within 15 guesses (got the N-K whiff right away), but their name? so far, no. there was a time it would have been very much on my radar, so I'm going to be kicking myself when I see the answer. as it is, I'm entertaining myself by filling in the blanks - at 400 right now, once again

I solved Redactle Unlimited #372 in 407 guesses with an accuracy of 72.73% and a time of 02:04:36.

not for the first time, the answer came to me in the morning, when I wasn’t even thinking about it. just their last name tho, I did have to look up the first name

well done, i wondered if i would recognise it when i looked it up but nope.

Another streak of articles that I would not have gotten on my own, but yesterday I was at least able to get it without googling. Very fortunate hints were the key.

couldn’t understand why I wasn’t getting any element of these original names right, but it was because I kept thinking it would be (some form of) German instead of Latin

didn't get the two before today's.

finally got that it was a Greek/Roman *weapon* in about 65 and what it did soon after, but the name… used hints for the source words, to no avail at first, and then my mind went ballistic and I had found it - without being familiar with the word afaik
