183: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 14 guesses with an accuracy of 78.57% and a time of 00:08:00.

never heard of it!

183: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 65 guesses with 52.31% accuracy and a time of 00:04:42!

Neither did I!

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 15 guesses with an accuracy of 53.33% and a time of 00:05:21.

never heard of it either

how have y'all worked it out if you never heard of it haha. I have the first 2 words...

OK got it in 38. Ive... sort of heard of it, only by dint of where I live I suppose?

if he can do 1 = one then he can fix the American spellings

Ha I'm so used to it in Spelling Bee I defaulted to the american spelling anyway.

But yes, i'd like to see this game not count typos/spelling mistakes, or cramming an accidental two worder into one word.

That'd be pretty difficult since the topics will invariably have names that a typical spellcheck would mark as misspelled.

61 today but cheated, got the second word relatively quickly but could have played until Christmas and not got the first one.

Same, I even uncovered the Gravity's Rainbow reference but I couldn't do anything with it.

I've got the first word but can't get the second!

got it in 116, awful.

I didnt get it, and even cheating/googling took forever. Never heard of it, it feels extremely niche.

I have heard of it, even thought of the first word seven guesses in after guessing godel, no idea why I didn't enter it.

OK so I have worked out WHAT today's thing is in a general sense, but I have no idea what it is called or where it is located, aside from vaguely in "central asia".

OK I got it but I had to cheat by googling around the idea.

(143 guesses, and the answer was googled, so I cant count this one)

yeah that was a fail for me.

Mind you it produced some gorgeous looking google results!

Hahah aaaaand, another one where I know what the THING is, but not the sub-category. I've tried everything I know!

Like I have solved the "also known as" part, and that still is not helping me.

Yeah I had to cheat again too.

^

also wasted about 100 guesses tooling around in antiquity because I'd spotted 'nth century b.c.e.'

Hah yeah I got put off by uncovering mentions of WARNING PARTIAL ANSWER ENCLOSED clocks and ancient history, took ages to hit engineering and then I was just putting everythingI could think of til I got it. 109 guesses.

187: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 20 guesses with 45% accuracy and a time of 00:01:00!

got the second word in one, couldn't get the first despite basically uncovering the whole definition.

Christ this is as bad as yesterdays.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 61 guesses with an accuracy of 57.38% and a time of 00:25:43.

that was hard! had no idea where it was going till I started on religion, and then guessed sin, still took a dozen guesses to nail it down.

188: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 43 guesses with 69.77% accuracy and a time of 00:03:57!

"better" as part of my strategy of uncovering "better known as" yielded "good" in the opening translation note, and I took a flyer on "Greek," and from there I knew it was a "eu-" word.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 43 guesses with an accuracy of 62.79% and a time of 00:14:35.

189: R-U seems a little wonky today, I had to load it through the direct link: https://redactle-unlimited.com/#Q9068

Congratulations! You solved Redactle Unlimited in 5 guesses with 80% accuracy and a time of 00:00:00!

holy cow! I solved Redactle Unlimited in 1 guess with an accuracy of 100% and a time of 00:05:56.

very lucky: it was clear that it had to be an extremely famous (because long-ass article) Francophone author-ish person. just entered the first single-name one that came to mind without further double-checking, et voilà !

Nice, breasty!

got it in one based solely on breastcrawl's description! totally cheating but 19s fwiw

189: Congratulations! You solved Redactle Unlimited in 1 guesses with 100% accuracy and a time of 00:00:38!

who has two thumbs, studied philosophy and can't think of this french philosopher?

should've focused my thoughts more on writers than philosophers.

190: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 102 guesses with 59.8% accuracy and a time of 00:07:15!

I didn't try mathematics until pretty late and so for a long time I was expecting to be stymied by some obscure physics thing I didn't know about again.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 4 guesses with an accuracy of 75% and a time of 00:04:04.

spotted physics / mathematics straight away, if I'd paid more attention to "the inside of" at the end of the first para it could've been a oner.

Why does it keep being maths!? Again, I have loads of clues and no earthly idea of the answer.

nm I just got it, it was more straightforward than I was thinking haha.

That's the case a lot of the time, innit?

191: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 346 guesses with 61.27% accuracy and a time of 00:31:58!

This was really annoying as I tried "shapeshifter" and didn't get the solve, and I needed quite some time before I thought to try "shapeshifting."

36 guesses and I know what it is but I don't know what it is. my first two were metamorphosis and transformation

I’m at 361 guesses rn, and it has long become an exercise to fill out the complete text rather than guessing the word itself because I don’t seem to know what the phenomenon that is so clearly being described is actually called

loooolll! I solved Redactle Unlimited in 362 guesses with an accuracy of 61.88% and a time of 01:24:53.

well, duh. I had entered both “shape” (just 13 hits) and “shift” (just 4) ages ago, just never occurred to me to connect the two. it was realising there was no etymology section that prompted me to think of something basic-English instead of things like “metamorphosis”

LOL if you get 192 without cheating then I will be very impressed.

well, I’m Dutch, so I got it, in a shameful 294 guesses with an accuracy of 70.07% and a time of 01:18:39. I mean, I got “Dutch” in 14 and “de” immediately after, so it should have been a shoe-in, this guy is one of the most famous people in Dutch history, and it just did not come to me

Yeah I had to cheat by googling the name of the book that kept coming up in the article. I cant say I know this one!
