I went down so many wrong turns today. Had to guess and search in the end. Was driving me insane. Got it in the mid-70s, but that was with Google help.

I find war crops up in most articles somewhere! I almost always try world too.

I mean take it with a pinch of salt as I seem to need hundreds of guesses for things others get in under 10, but some of those have helped me in the past.

I’m really struggling with todays I am on guess 300 and nowhere near 😁

Do you have any idea of the general theme, or any ideas? It's difficult to give you a clue really!

Pretty much clueless at this stage!

I've sent you a pm

I find it therapeutic too. I am sometimes a bit cross when I find the topic before I am ready!

Not my best attempt….

At least you got it though!

My first ever attempt was (I think) probably the hardest - College of Cardinals - and I just gave up in the end. I have learnt different strategies now which hopefully do help.

Something to do during this swimming lesson... I'm waiting 5pm eagerly!

I had worked out the topic of the article, Google helped with the exact title

Getting nowhere today!

Blimey you lot are quick off the mark!

Ha! Spoke too soon.

15 words in and I haven’t uncovered a single word yet.

this is going to be a tough one.

I got the word apart from the first 4 letters (which annoyingly didn't show up on its own) by guess 35. I enjoyed it today.

I'm 102 words in and I've only got about 10 right so far. This is going to be a slog.

20 guesses in and none have been in it at all!

Well that took embarrassingly long for someone with a degree related to the topic.

I solved today's Redactle (#28) in 153 guesses with an accuracy of 32.68%. Played at www.redactle.com/

That dredged up some long forgotten knowledge. Did end up googling at the end to find the subject

I don't even know the general area yet and I've tried 155 words. I'm not even grumpy yet. Genuinely curious about how it's defeating me.

Well this is embarrassing, I know the field and it's related to my degree, but most of the words I'm putting in aren't getting me anywhere !

I gave up around the 170 mark and went to reddit!
