#48
You solved it in 2 guesses
Your accuracy was 100.00%

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

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.

sorry number was wrong

#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.

i am surrounded by relevant books and dvds. i am literally wearing this tshirt as i type https://www.uniqlo.com/eu/en/news/topics/2021060701/img/104T_SC6FSC16F2105245zZ6ba.jpg

I solved today's Redactle (#50) in 43 guesses with an accuracy of 62.79%.

had nothing to latch onto until i hit king and realized there was probably a "lear" after one of them. flailed around a bit until i hit arts, noticed that martial might fit before, and since i had typed "no" earlier (a word i guess i never realized wasn't automatic?) i saw a XXXX-no-XXX construction
a couple of times and thought oh, japanese seven letters martial arts ok lets try this

I got #50 in 85 guesses with 89% accuracy! "war" is one of the first words I guess unless it's obvious that the topic is not a human; the fact that there was only one word before the instances of "war" made me deduce that it predates the 20th century, and "england" and "europe" and "jewish" and "rome" were either blank or minimal. I got "China" and "Japan" fairly soon after. At some point, after getting a lot of filler words in, I got the phrase "Japanese popular culture," and then noticed a verb was a 3rd person plural as opposed to singular, and so I guessed "their" and "they" ... and I got it by starting with popular terms

Redactle #50 in 58 guesses (70% accuracy) meh.

verb was a 3rd person plural as opposed to singular,

there was a similar clue on the second word, 4 letters, couldn't be is or are, had to be plural AND past tense, were. unfortunately that just made me think templars 8(

105 guesses. For some reason it took me forever to get the leap from China to Japan. (Not much of a leap.)

i love reading the routes everyone took

#51 in 8.

Similar to Koogs, I had clues close at hand for yesterday (solved in 21). I'd just ordered food from a restaurant named Edo ffs - that was 15 hits right there!

23 0s in a row...

woeful

108, 43.52%

but it generally seems harder today given the global solvers (or it's a friday and people have lives)

15 guesses here. Got law as my second guess then was floundering for a bit

44 guesses, 50%, lol at me just typing court-y words i vaguely remember from procedurals until a hit
