How the hell are people getting it in under 40 words? Hmm

DoorLion · 25/04/2022 19:19

I solved today's Redactle (#19) in 237 guesses with an accuracy of 39.24%. Played at www.redactle.com/

I knew straight away I would never get it without Google, I could tell it was not an area I have the slightest bit of knowledge of - but I held off Googling for ages just in case I stumbled on something!

In my case by googling. I don't consider it cheating; I think that identifying a snippet which may yield a helpful result is a necessary skill for this particular game!

SoupDragon · 25/04/2022 19:21

You solved it in 105 guesses
Your accuracy was 32.38%

I had to Google key phrases in the end as it was none of the specific "things" I could remember. I would not have got it otherwise.

Oh my goodness, what fresh hell is this?! 😂

MrsElm · 25/04/2022 19:37

So I am googling, but it's still not helping. Nearly 300 guesses so far. Please can someone PM me a clue?

This! It’s impossible.

iklboo · 25/04/2022 19:41

I finally got it in 321 with 32.09% accuracy. I had to dredge a lot of terms out of the old memory bank! Thank you for a new addiction.

iklboo · 25/04/2022 19:42

Wait. You can Google? That would have saved a lot of guesses 😄

Howdoisawwithnosaw · 25/04/2022 19:45

I solved today's Redactle (#19) in 266 guesses with an accuracy of 32.71%. Played at www.redactle.com/

Pretty sure I’ve never heard of it before and having read the full wiki page I still can’t begin to understand what it is. Thank you google and some lucky absolutely random guesses that got me on the right googling path.

I solved today's Redactle (#19) in 263 guesses with an accuracy of 39.16%. Played at www.redactle.com/

Well that nearly killed me. I exhausted my not very extensive knowledge of the subject then had to turn to Google for help

MrsElm · 25/04/2022 19:49

Finally got there in 317 guesses, and much help from Google and DS. My accuracy was 35.33%.

That was a jolly hard slog!

Well, yesterday I got it in less than 20...today:

I solved today's Redactle (#19) in 558 guesses with an accuracy of 21.68%. Played at www.redactle.com/

Really not a subject I have any knowledge of! 😂

Hopeforall · 25/04/2022 19:50

I’ve just got it! Thank you google.

That sums up how I feel about today’s.

thanks a lot op, you have got me totally addicted and now I can’t get anything else done 😆

Tricky one today! I had about 1 in 3 words and half the subtitles, but was none the wiser for ages. I have a relatively low number of guesses, but I do use Google and knew a lot of the terminology through my work.

I solved today's Redactle (#19) in 54 guesses with an accuracy of 62.96%. Played at www.redactle.com/

WhatICallMyUsername · 25/04/2022 20:33

Second day today and I aren't going to lie, I've flounced!

It was fun yesterday as you felt like it was something you could get. Ain't got a clue today Confused

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 25/04/2022 20:37

This is going to come out worse than I intend, I swear I don't mean it like it sounds!

Have to admit, I don't overly understand the point of doing it if you're going to google, especially to brag about the low amount of guesses it takes.

Not trying to be snippy, I know it doesn't affect my game at all, it just feels odd to see.

I Googled and got it in 317! I was over 100 guesses in before I even had any thing googlable. So I think that the people who got low guesses probably knew a bit about the subject already.

Omg I've just got today's that was proper difficult and I had to Google. Did it in 77 though.

I solved today's Redactle (#19) in 87 guesses with an accuracy of 57.47%. Played at www.redactle.com/
This is my third and best attempt so far. I liked snow, hated cardinals and found this brain hurty but enjoyable.

But how do you have enough of the relevant words to google if you’ve only got say 15-20 random words?

MrsLargeEmbodied · 25/04/2022 20:59

i have so much but cannot seem to find the correct title
