101 today. I was totally thinking something more like a group of animals or something to do with boats. Then I did "Rock", saw "The sport of rock --------" and got Climbing after. Then thought about what had to do with climbing, guessed rope without thinking it was actually the answer, and voila, the board lit up.

This is kinda fun. It took me about 500 guesses (which is on me for locking myself into a certain way of thinking for too long).

I probably should have checked the rules before starting as well. Is there a way to try old puzzles?

I assume if you set your clock back to days ago, you can. I know this works with Heardle.

  • You solved it in 218 guesses
  • Your accuracy was 37.61%
  • You have solved 10 consecutive Redactles
This one whooped me. I finally just googled two random phrases that I'd somehow managed together.

I didn't overthink anything there, I just got absolutely no info from the words I guessed. Most of the ones I guessed right were only used once or twice. Most of the ones that were over five were words that arguably should already be revealed like "have." Of the ones that had a lot of hits that were also relevant, I only got twist and construction. Neither of those were all that helpful in figuring it out.

It also fucked with me because I hit the phrase made of steel or other metal alloys which pointed me in an entirely different direction.

I had 499 but that was because everything I had was useless. I ended up trying a bunch of math stuff due to terms like pi, length, circumfrance which totally messed me up. When it suddenly popped I was actually super confused because I had no idea.

Is there a general starting place for terms to start narrowing it down? Like the first 10 words you'd throw out there?

My first few words are usually based on what the article says.

Like for Chopin, there was a lot of quotes, so I tried lots of professions that would have used words, and eventually hit something on 'composer', because of that realization.

But if I have nowhere to start, I usually will try things like water, world, food, animal(s), plant(s), color (If I know it isn't a person), he/she, and used/use.

Yeah, I look at the article and see if I see anything that jumps out at me. Also tend to use words like origin, history, development, etc. And weirdly, all of the first ten numbers tend to get a few hits each. Not super useful, but helps clear out some of the blocking.

I had to look this one up to make sure I had the right term. It was pretty clear just from the shape of the blanks that this was going to be about chemistry, so I tried stuff like H, O, 2, formula, and that sort of thing. I eventually got glucose and sucrose, which led me to sugar, but I probably wasn't ever going to remember the specific term in the title.

Side note, given the subject matter, I'm shocked that chemistry returned a 0.

191 for me. I got disease, food, and words like increase and decrease, so I totally thought it was something like health supplements or something like that. Then I eventually tried prey and realized it was something different. When the word came into my mind, I was like "......I.......... think this is it."

Got a ton of words for today's but ultimately I had to look up a small bit of context. I immediately got it because I had filled in enough info on my own but I wasn't personally familiar with this one so I wouldn't have known to guess it. 180 with a 70% hit rate on terms.

23 guesses, 91.30% accuracy

Started off with 10 or so generic words that really didn't do much of anything. Got the words "head" and "state", which told me it was a country, and then "country" and "island", which narrowed it down to an island nation. Tried "British" and "French" to see which one popped up more, then noticed that the title was 7 letters long. Vanuatu didn't work, so I tried Antilles, which gave a hit and narrowed it down to the Caribbean, and so Grenada was up next.

121 guesses, 49.59% accuracy. That did not go particularly well.

That's actually a higher accuracy than I was expecting, though, since it seemed like only about every third word was getting hits. This was another one like Babylonia, where I had guessed synonyms or similar words to the title, but didn't think of the actual word until later.

I solved today's Redactle (#32) in 30 guesses with an accuracy of 90.00%.

I'm pretty happy with how this one went. I figured out parts of the "Etymology" section very quickly. Then I noticed that the article referred to periods of time spanning from one calendar date to the next, which made me realize that it most likely had something to do with seasons. Since I had already figured out that the term in the article differed in British and American English and the title of the article was different from the American term, I knew that it had to be autumn.

i recognized and guessed "also known" first thing, then thought it might be in North America. North hit but not there, and I thought it seemed too short for the blank, so I tried Northern. That was revealed there in the first paragraph so I figured out it could be hemispheres, and I recognized what has two names with one being just a few letters and depends on northern/southern hemisphere

I solved today's Redactle (#32) in 5 guesses with an accuracy of 100.00%. Played at https://www.redactle.com/

39 now. I know that this is:

"Insects"

"The ------ are" ~ This tells me that as a 6 letter word, it's a plural group, like "geese" would be, or something similar, but the fact it uses "The" kind of show some nobility to the group's name, so there's very few words that could fit here.

I got hits on "fly" (2) and "water" (5) which COULD be throw offs.

I just need to think of insects that are 6 letters long that are plural, that could just fit to make "The ------ are" work grammatically.
