______ the ____________: Redactle

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.

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!

I need a clue for todays, I'm circling around the examples in songs and literature and I think its throwing me off?

a clue... start from scratch, try different subjects. I hadn't heard of any of the songs, they're not contemporary classics for sure.

the four letter thing that it is is very common indeed, comes in three main varieties.

198 in 25 (76%)

on phone Firefox the numbers aren't appearing in the boxes but further up the screen. share also appeared to do nothing (gave me 12 wrong options, then said copied, but it hadn't)

199: I solved Redactle Unlimited in 1 guesses with an accuracy of 100% and a time of 00:01:39.

199: Dammit ledge, I was just going to gloat about getting it in 16 on only my third time Redactle-ing.

Do they often leave a big clue unredacted, or does the program have trouble reacting hyphenated words?

do you mean round-up? I guess it treats each word separately and they are (or can be) prepositions so it doesn't redact them.

unless there's a bigger clue I missed.

well, I solved Redactle Unlimited in 86 guesses with an accuracy of 87.21% and a time of 00:43:31.

got it in one from ledge's clue

i think the problem is more that both parts of 'round-up', 'round' and 'up' are givens

Ledge, yes that's the one

IMO a fun one to uncover today.

Gah! I have uncovered so many words and still cant quite put my finger on it.

Got it!
128 guesses 59.38% accuracy.

It was uncovering the word (STRONG HINT) capacity that twigged it for me.

I solved Redactle Unlimited in 76 guesses with an accuracy of 73.68% and a time of 00:36:17.

maybe the longest I've gone, over 50 guesses, without getting a single word in the first paragraph.

can't pretend I'm not a little bit intrigued by a book called Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion.

similar experience to you, Leee.

was able to identify a lot, up and including the cliffs in Scotland, so I knew where to look for my cheating exploit, and even then it wasn’t all that easy.

I got it but also had to cheat, once I knew what general topic it was (I was racking my brain re 8th grade geology haha).

oop sorry I should have hidden that

Cheated by consulting the DK/Smithsonian Rocks & Minerals Handbook that my child got for his birthday last month.

Somehow I feel better about cheating if I can find the answer in a book rather than online.

I thought I'd got lucky when I accidentally typed lime instead of line - that got me to cement but then I foolishly had 70 odd guesses of building terms before the geology penny dropped. got sedimentary rock now, and yup it's cheatin' time.
