Redactle, the daily ████████-█████ ████████ puzzle (2024)

17 today, 82%. Once I narrowed it down to being an Indian language I did look up a list of those, but also slapped my forehead once I saw the answer because I really should have gotten it on my own. Oh well!

AGH 130 and ashamed. Went way too technical in my guesses.

Today's seems to have been a rough one for most people, including me : 174 31.03% .

Following up yesterday's 17 with a big old 207 today, yowza. I got poison and toxic at 173 and 174 respectively, and it still took me 33 more guesses and a lookup for something more specific to realize the more general word I had completely overlooked and finally nail it down. Yikes!

251 for me. Glad I wasn't the only person struggling!

54 today with an exact 2/3 accuracy (20 guesses of which were the numbers 1-20), which was surprising given how lost I felt at the beginning. Should've paid more attention to the formatting, too, I could've potentially had it much sooner.

58 for me today, I got nowhere until randomly guessing length at 56.

265 today, and that's AFTER getting a hint at 206. Woof! I don't know if my normal stable of words just didn't hit on anything, or if my mind was just refusing to go in the right direction, but goddamn.

I somehow managed to get my train of thought on a closely related subject relatively quickly and was able to get the answer in 57 (64.91%). But I did have to search for a list of terms to get the title word once I had a good idea of what the broad subject matter was.

126 for me today, but I had a pretty tough time with it. I got music at 56, which sent me down a rabbit hole of instruments and other musical terms. My music school background got the better of me today, I guess.

(Sep 26th puzzle) Saw the characters 𐀇𐀸 and 𐀇𐀺 were uncovered (at least on Redactle Unlimited) and while I absolutely didn't recognize them as Greek I think that helped my brain go in the right direction. Father, god and ancient were the guesses that got me there, got it in 12.

Oh man, I didn't see any of that uncovered on the main site. Took me 74 I think to home in on it the old-fashioned way. One weird thing that led me astray was that Bible was one of the hits, referring to there apparently being two mentions of Zeus in the Bible.

Today took me an embarrassing 174 guesses. I just couldn't get any kind of foothold.

Oof, got the first word at guess 12 or so but couldn't figure out what the second was until guess 57.

Do you mean for today's or yesterday's?

I didn't get to do yesterday's before the site crashed, and Redactle Unlimited seems to have had a different puzzle (one word answer). The hell.

Buh? I went to Unlimited yesterday when I couldn't get to the regular site and its daily puzzle had a one word answer. I dunno!

No, it said daily! A couple of people on the Redactle subreddit reported the same thing.

My girlfriend did it on the main site before it crashed and she said it was a two word answer -- the consensus seems to be that after the main Redactle site went down, the daily puzzle on Unlimited changed to a different one for some reason. So that explains the differing experiences!

Got today's in 4 because of the failure to redact pretty major terminology, particularly, the word "opposite" and also the opposite of the title later down. Would've had it in 1 if I'd seen the redaction failure before I started guessing. Ahhh, well.

I got it in 96 because I didn't know the term.
