Short one.

bit of deja vu there. not that it helped my numbers

shit. mod request sent.

my results: 140 guesses, 10% accuracy, had to cheat with the very limited words i even managed to get. i was getting NOTHING from this one. ended up searching "passes through one of", lol. just so few words to work with! i usually guess light at some point though and didn't this time so it's on me

94, 12% - got lucky with light, then only got focus because the only optics related things I could think of were eyeglasses and camera lenses

In one today.

astounding. 9 for me.

> In one today.

i'd've bet money on this

Good work! 29 for me, my first guess was "physics" and that got 0 so I wandered around for a while

#78 279 / 57.71%

Had to cheat even though I had both "food" and "borne" by 132.

Again I am sure I know what it is but I don't know what it's called

Got today's in 8. That strange unredacted <500 colony thing tipped me off that we were talking about bacteria or reproduction or contamination and I was lucky that my fifth guess was the second word.

92 and counting. having trouble getting it over the line.

I had disease in 13, food in ... 165. Gave up 20 guesses later. I've lost my mojo, third > 100 in four games.

almost cheated but tried a few more and got it in 147! somehow didn't use one of my usual early guesses -- food -- until 40. not that it helped me close, lol. seeing what looked like the fda sorta sent me in the right direction, but i focused too much on the enforcement of safety stuff and less on what people might be enforcing it for

I was close to this one early and it still took me something like 140 guesses just bc I couldn't figure out exactly what the first word was

screaming habdabs?

got it in 32, not 100% convinced that foodborne really is a word but there we are

hit it in 74, had "disease" around 20 but just kept mostly striking out on medical terminology while trying to narrow it down until "food" blew things open

gave up. i'm not sure that's a phrase anybody has ever used

One today.

#78 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foodborne_illness which is not a thing

Also a 1 for me! Exciting to be in such lofty company.

I'm back in the club.

knowing that it's possible in 1 makes just taking random guesses all the harder

one of four things, but what things? the ??? in the list is making it difficult. not quarks, not card suits, not months, not seasons, not little women...

12, one of my lower totals. To be honest I never even try to get it in the lowest number of guesses, I just give the text a quick glance and start guessing and see where it takes me.

#79 in 12 @ 75%

knew it was states of something but went too specific, figuring the three letter state was ice and the something was water so started with steam for 0 which threw me

16 today. Good job it wasn't the non-North American definition because I've never heard of that.

I had no idea at all what was going on until 86 in...now I'm racking my brain for words that might fit

I solved today's Redactle (#80) in 622 guesses with an accuracy of 61.25%. my first guess was “law”, and that was the track I stayed on mentally, even when I got to “religious” at some point. got the “conservative” part pretty soon thereafter, but never thought to try beyond Christianity, even though Christianity-related words scored suspiciously low. only after I tried “Judeo” (0 hits!) and then “Jewish” I had my epiphany

bit of an annoying code issue, long suspected, today confirmed: not all apostrophes are the same to Redactle. it accepts (') but not (’): iow it would accept “Martha's [Vineyard]”, but not “Martha’s [Vineyard]”.
unfortunately, on my iPhone at least, the apostrophe is entered as (’) in Redactle, so I have to c+p the (') version.

#80 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_Judaism

a bust here

yeah I gave up after about 100 having guessed judaism but no hope of getting the rest.

today's in 67 - I had library at 50.

Got there in 45. That single hit for organism early on was a real puzzler!

got there in my own sweet time again: 386 guesses /39.90%. not exactly proud of this one though, should have gotten there a lot sooner

still struggling. 195 guesses and i don't have enough to even cheat yet.

i finally got enough to cheat 8(

#82 in 13 guesses, 61.54%. Can't be unhappy with that, though I shouldn't have persisted in guessing axe and saw after tool and weapon already turned up blank.

skipped yesterday, 65 today - tried weapon and soldier early on for no hits, so I drifted around other topics for a while

no half measures. i either struggle or this happens.

#83 in 11 - didn't see it at first

1 for me.

Here too! Nice after two fairly high scoring days.

lmfao, got #83 in 91 / 21.98%
i unlocked "fast" and "food" early and just kept guessing dumb shit because i could not come up with anything where XXXXX and XXX were opposites (4th paragraph) until about 10 mins later, at this point i said out loud at my computer "oh my god" and typed the correct answer

#83 23 / 34.78%

Got really lucky! I had daylight @20 thinking maybe it had something to do with DST, and followed up with night for some reason I can't remember at this point.
