163, 80% accuracy - knew it was an insect early on but a side bit of fun is seeing how many words I can fill in rather than just going for low score.

A gruelling 375, but Kevin gave me the final guess. It’s one of his strongest fields of knowledge. Also learned how a certain long standing ILXor got their name.

silverfish, I had that too but I didn't think laterally enough to make the connection, and my first 200 guesses were in the realms of medicine and technology -- my guess of television at 65 was a total red herring.

I started with #13 (prophesy vs prophecy argh), so I've solved 22 now, with an average of 41.3 guesses. Never better than Meryl, never worse than College of Cardinals.
50 today - also taken down the wrong path. I forget that dogs can be popular too.

#34 in 73, not entirely happy. I mean I remember the moment early on when I looked at my dog sitting beside me and thought 'I will type dog' then thought 'no, don't do that, wasted blind guess, just try animals instead'. Thought I was looking for something geographical/territorial till then and only really locked on when I properly noticed what looked like 'origin of the species' down in the popcult list. That still just made me think about dogs and not the name of the ship…

Finished punching the air, jumping on tables, spraying room with tesco prosecco
Basically saw ****-***** in the first sentence and thought it looked a lot like it could be 'city-state'. Confirmed with 'state', then it was just figuring out a 9-letter city state that would get a really, really, really long article.

A question to the letter counters: do you see the individual boxes, or do you highlight them one at a time and count them that way? If the former, what browser do you use?
― Santa Barbarous (Leee), Thursday, 12 May 2022 16:14 (one year ago) link
lol, got it in 141 after going so many wrong ways.
re counting i only do it rarely but for the most part it's by eye (since it's all in a monospace font. i usually don't count if it's over 5 or so)
anyway today: i got stuck early with a few hits on "sound" which is not helpful!! but eventually worked my way to gas and liquid and solid... seemed like one in the other... struggled a little longer, got one hit for beer near the beginning, and the next one was the answer
