surprised it's that high tbh. maybe the weekend numbers are just lower.

yeah, physics, because of the frequencies. but went back to old favourite words after getting nowhere. 'one' of the '????' -> 'one of the four' ... 'states of matter'.

15, 80% - no on solid, liquid… glad it was plasma because I can’t remember the fourth state of matter

Redactle #47 in 1. Now I can retire.

#47 in 7 - pretty happy - the pressure and frequency clues had me poking around elements and chemistry, but then tried 'physics', suspecting rightly that it might give me the bracketed clarifier in the title. Tried 'matter' thinking it was some particle but that gave me enough of the the first sentence & then eliminated liquid based on how it seemed to be explaining it later. Thinking more, I was aiming for the end of the opening sentence with 'matter'… but if I strongly suspected that, I should have stopped and spotted a) no plausible place for 'particle/s' b) a plausible 'states' just before it.

damn michael nice 🎉

> Redactle #47 in 1.

b-but it was two words

> the fourth state of matter

gas?

Yeah, the second word is the disambiguation so it auto-filled once I got the main. Didn't expect it to!

Not sure why mTorr wasn't redacted but that was the giveaway for me.

never heard of mTorr! 24 for me, wasted too many speculative guesses at the start, then was getting somewhere with pressure, volume, etc, before trying 'four' in the opening sentence which gave it away.

I didn’t solve Redactle in 645 guesses because I decided to just google the fourth state of matter. pretty sure it wouldn’t have come to me before my bedtime after having thrown everything physics-related I could think of at the wall (iow very little). I mean, if you can’t solve this thing with about 80% of the text unlocked…

apart from mTorr kHz was also unredacted. weird glitches in the system!

109 for me

didn’t have a clue about anything whatsoever until I got to *Six* Day War at guess 101, after that it was a done deal

I solved today's Redactle (#48) in 24 guesses with an accuracy of 75.00%.

me too.

28, 75%

I got it in 2, but that was after about 15-20 minutes of staring at it in confusion.

got it in 85 after wasting a ton of guesses on numbers and common science/math variable letters. was absolutely baffled by the single-character words towards the beginning... turns out they were slashes?

then i dumped in my list of like 50 common words because i was getting fed up with it, got it a few guesses later.

no idea why that second sentence wasn't caught in the hidden code, i put the end bit at the end of the post. not that it spoils much

test does spoiler text not work anymore if you include

a line break and pre-code text

:\

put a space on the empty line

thank

you

#48 in 2 as well.

#48 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Sea. in 2 mofos.

fucking typo

65, 75%

Got it in 2, first thing that came to mind.

Also in two. That's six of the last nine in ten or fewer guesses, four of those solved immediately. Am I just starting to think in Redactle? Will I lose other skills as a result? Oh wait...

#49: 129 / 61.24%

I got stuck on statistics for the first ~40 guesses until I guessed system at 45, which then led to solar and mass, though I couldn't get away from math till 66 when I did force > weak > nuclear, then I was like, "Oh no, science again."

#49 in 89, threw the kitchen sink at it.

I think it's not the first time I've let maths stuff steer me into an early assumption it's a mathematical concept

I dread it when my first glance over the page points to science or math.

4 guesses in and i think i'm gonna have to cheat to get the second word... the only 5 letter word i can think of is "waste"

yeah i cheated. i was feeling so good at first. could see "is the process by which" at the top, so definitely science, and "was discovered in (4 letter year so you know it's not ancient history)" and rightly guessed "curie" for the second name. "radioactive" was as far as i could get on my own

#49 in 28.

#48 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay

I solved today's Redactle (#50) in 51 guesses with an accuracy of 86.27%.

sorry number was wrong

#49 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay

#50 80 / 61.25%

7 guesses, 100%. maaaaybe could have got it in one as I was thinking in the right direction before I started guessing.

i am slightly ashamed

lol at the tempting-looking list at the bottom that turned out to be a list of japanese names that were impossible to guess

otherwise terrible. went around the entire world, including 'asia' and didn't get much. finally tried china and that opened it up

i am slightly ashamed

Because you needed more guesses than this habitual triple-digit guesser? jk

I solved today's Redactle (#50) in 98 guesses with an accuracy of 69.39%. Same as koogs, similar trajectory. Ain’t no shame in my game tho.
