I solved Redactle #603 in 1 guess with an accuracy of 100.0% and a time of 00:07:05.

deduction, deduction. four potential areas, this one was in the second I tried, and tho I wasn’t sure about all the variables, a good number matched, so I gave it a shot. as Bob Marley famously declared: “Everything’s gonna be alright”

I thought of the answer but then looked at a map and tried something else (one of its neighbours) so serve me right for cheating.

thought of it earlier, but was stuck on continents instead of countries for too long, and also spelled it wrongly (namely the Dutch way) at first

I solved Redactle #611 in 1 guess with an accuracy of 100.0% and a time of 00:04:44.

the uncovered “following” was the big clue (altho I didn’t know it was related to this word (which I thought was connected to fitting/matching), unlike the one with the added vowel - but it did spring to mind immediately, and in combination with the “off-the-*” variants it seemed worth the guess anyway

slugbuggy, life has new meaning to me (breastcrawl), Saturday, 9 December 2023 13:14 (five months ago) link

I was too hasty. I thought it was fashion, didn't get anything from 'following' and couldn't think of a four letter clothing item so guessed... shop.
