had the con-less part of the second word at roughly half the amount of guesses, no idea what was keeping me there

Never heard of it, couldn't guess the second word. But the book I was reading last night was being cagey about when it was set, it mentioned the german reformation so i googled that, was reading a page about it and bingo.

Surprised that I got this one so quickly, general topic articles usually give me a lot of trouble.

Had a hard time pinpointing where this subject lived, as his being a billionaire and involvement in US trade of something made me think he was American, especially after yesterday's article. I tried drug, maybe he was in pharmaceuticals, because I was running out of other fields, and then dealer, and that finally did the trick.

clear from the intro that they weren’t American. “Spanish” got me several hits, Mexico/Spain/Argentina didn’t deliver, something told me to try “kill” and lo and behold: hit the jackpot with the next country. funnily enough, the word that I had guessed as “philanthropist” turned out to be “narcoterrorist”!

I solved Redactle Unlimited #395 in 176 guesses with an accuracy of 82.95% and a time of 00:52:32.

had the first two in the 30s, but couldn’t think of the third word, so I just started filling in the blanks until it would come to me, since it clearly had to be something pretty obvious. and it did come to me - one minute after I had decided to call it a day. the brain, how does it work?

and it us funny, that brain. when I tried “hardware” it could feel it trying to tell me I was so close. it even pushed me to try “software” (as a filling-out option) at one point, and I had that overwhelming feeling again: so far away but yet so close

I ended up cheating yesterday even though I had the first two words because I thought I'd already guessed the third word.

Today was much better though.
