______ the ____________: Redactle

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!

All the same, well done, breastcrawl!

even if I heard heard of him the reference to the first world war completely threw me as to the era in question.

#193 in 20, could've been 1 if I'd thought more about that first ten letter word.

193: Don't remember how many guesses but I got it without cheating.

194: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 161 guesses with 50.93% accuracy and a time of 00:13:04! Incredibly lucky! I've barely encountered the name and was scraping the bottom of the barrel of German names that I knew.

68, eventually tried the first name of the only guaranteed austrian philosopher I knew even though I also knew it wasn't him and whaddya know. And I guess that dislodged the surname from my brain somehow, though I wouldn't have claimed to know his first name before.

255 guesses with an accuracy of 56.86% and a time of 01:00:11. cheated, never heard of the guy.

Yeah I can see I'm not gonna solve this one, can the game cut it out with entries related to maths, physics, science and politics so often lol.

Cant we just have an article like "octopus" or "crop rotation" or "Madonna" ffs.

yep. more variety needed, and we're not going to get it.

Redactle, hit me with a flower

195: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 72 guesses with 40.28% accuracy and a time of 00:03:46!

A lot easier today.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 3 guesses with an accuracy of 66.67% and a time of 00:14:51.

guessed hovercraft then vehicle. got distracted by off-road capabilities, should have counted the wheels.

Whaey, my vexing must have been heard! Solved that one in 29 guesses.

I guess so! I solved Redactle Unlimited in 31 guesses with an accuracy of 67.74% and a time of 00:19:04.
always ask about their parents first!

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 32 guesses with an accuracy of 75% and a time of 00:34:39!

no idea who her parents were! and the stuff in the secons para that turned out to be about her religious congregation made me think for ages that it wasn't a person.

I meant to say that I had no clue what or who this woman could be yet, and then tried to get closer through typing in her father and her, you know… and that brought me very, very close indeed

ah ok lol!

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 176 guesses with an accuracy of 64.77% and a time of 00:34:10. Should have gotten this one much faster.

197: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 284 guesses with 52.46% accuracy and a time of 00:21:44! Clearly took me a long time to suss this one out, "record" was the what finally put me on the right track.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 54 guesses with an accuracy of 61.11% and a time of 00:23:20.
footled around with country, people, food, ethnicity, before 'number' and 'data' helped me zoom out.

198: You solved Redactle Unlimited in 34 guesses with 58.82% accuracy and a time of 00:02:35!
