30 out of 32 guesses drawn a blank

Justgivemewine · 04/05/2022 18:22

😆would never have got that without a google.

took ages to get a word but then something clicked to get on the right track.

GrouchyKiwi · 04/05/2022 18:25

More than 200 words in and I don't have enough to google. This is confusing.

What was yesterday's answer?

Rope. I somehow got distracted by Kevlar...

dapsnotplimsolls · 04/05/2022 18:30

Rope was 'orrible. I got lots of hits for 'construction', which got me on the wrong path. I don't really think of rope as being 'constructed ' :)

PortiaFimbriata · 04/05/2022 18:31

I got distracted by Rock

Rope. I somehow got distracted by Kevlar...

I had uncovered ‘has been used since prehistoric times’ and spent a ridiculous amount of guesses putting in anything and everything I thought that might apply to!

Chemenger · 04/05/2022 18:32

Got today’s in 202, even with relatively good knowledge of the general area it was hard.

SlightlyJaded · 04/05/2022 18:33

First time player and up to nearly 200
I have tried some of the directional words suggested above but not got very far. A couple of pretty frequent words but only one that might suggest a topic but with only one incidence, possibly not

Not really sure where to go from here.

Would you like a PM with a general area?

SlightlyJaded · 04/05/2022 18:37

Yes please @Aroundtheworldin80moves just for this first one. Thanks!

I solved today's Redactle (#28) in 157 guesses with an accuracy of 36.94%. Played at www.redactle.com/

I had most of the article uncovered before I caved and consulted the Wikipedia page for the generic subject to get the exact spelling of the word (I had put the complicated version tens of guesses earlier 😖)

drwitch · 04/05/2022 18:49

anybody know if you can (or how to) do greek letters?

iklboo · 04/05/2022 18:51

Aaaarrrrgggghhhh! Simple mistake earlier on cost me a few guesses.

GrouchyKiwi · 04/05/2022 18:54

No bloody wonder I had nothing!

I solved today's Redactle (#28) in 284 guesses with an accuracy of 19.01%. Played at www.redactle.com/

Found something to google in the end. That was extremely difficult!

InMySpareTime · 04/05/2022 18:58

@drwitch I don't think you can but it makes very little difference to today's article anyway.

User12398712 · 04/05/2022 19:07

On 256 so far and I have the general area but throwing words at it isn't helping!

AliasGrape · 04/05/2022 19:07

Im 150 guesses in. I know the area and what sort of answer it will be. I also know I’ll never get the answer and will need to end up googling but I quite like trying to fill in as much as I can first.

I’ve managed to fill in quite a lot, I wish there was like a little percentage counter to
shoe how much you’d ‘unredacted’.

ScrambledSmegs · 04/05/2022 19:12

Horrible one today. Got a lucky portion of a phrase and googled.

Boopear · 04/05/2022 19:12

OMG. Today's was just evil. So hard and I've got a degree in the subject 😳!

I solved today's Redactle (#28) in 148 guesses with an accuracy of 24.32%. Played at www.redactle.com/

ScrambledSmegs · 04/05/2022 19:14

I solved today's Redactle (#28) in 178 guesses with an accuracy of 37.18%. Played at www.redactle.com/

Wisterical · 04/05/2022 19:17

I solved today's Redactle (#28) in 14 guesses with an accuracy of 42.86%. Played at www.redactle.com/

I know nothing about this but uncovered most of a sentence and googled it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Akite · 04/05/2022 19:21

Really hard going today! About 75 words in and barely any of them are a hit and nothing with more than 1 or 2 hits. Going to be a while I think!

Ricardothesnowman · 04/05/2022 19:27

I solved today's Redactle (#28) in 202 guesses with an accuracy of 41.09%. Played at www.redactle.com/
