Got there, had plenty of phrases I could have googled earlier but decided to torture myself a bit longer. I’ve learned a few things along the way at least!

I should have got that quicker... suprised by some of the words that weren't used in the piece.

I only got it because I was doing it alongside my dd who has relevant A level knowledge. After about 200 guesses I didn't even have enough hits to Google anything.

So hard, although I had actually heard of this!

Once I knew the general topic I got it by trying every letter and number individually and then googling the clue that emerged 🫣

Got it in 127.

I worked out the type of thing it was very quickly with some help from a crude brute force method, but needed help from DH, who got a better grade in the relevant A level than I did.

This is driving me barking, up to 412 now and must be more than half the gaps filled. I'm wondering if there is a key term in my head that just hasn't popped out yet.

@User12398712 the shape of the redacted words should help narrow down the length etc of the words. Today, letters might help.

Well, that was painful. Not something I have much knowledge of at all.

Already used all the letters, numbers up to about 10 (in words and digits) and a few random symbols! I know the subject area and could tell you lots about the title, possibly even draw a picture, but I don't have a scoob what it is!

That was tough going.

What was yesterday's? I was struggling and had to get on with work and by the time I looked at it again it had changed?

@Soul11Soul yesterday's was rope

@User12398712 only a few examples of the letter/number combo are the length of the title word, try the ones that are about the right length.

Had to Google once my very basic knowledge was exhausted (c 150 in when I vaguely knew the type of subject). Not sure I would have ever got it on my own.

Bangs head

Should have got it 20 earlier. I couldn't understand why the title wasn't coming up despite having tried both singular and plural form. After an age wracking my brains for a synonym and thinking it didn't make any sense with the word being all over the article, I realised that I had a typo in the form that appeared in the title.

You may well dimly know the word, but unless you're a specialist you're not going to be kicking yourself saying "Oh I can't believe I didn't guess that - it's so obvious!"

Got it in 95 today, no help needed from Google which I was pleased about.

No idea, so had to google.
