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!"

I am kicking myself a bit, not for not trying the right word but spending an awful long time down a parallel track before I tried a (simpler) related word. After that, I would have got the title quickly if I could spell- I put in half a dozen similar words to the title, all spelt correctly, just the actual title wrong!

Not too bad, but was trying to overcomplicate things once I got an idea of topic. Didn't even manage to complete yesterdays!

That’s dedication.

No googling.
Spectacularly bad considering that DSis and I were working on it together and we both have degrees in closely related fields 😳😂

I managed to complete todays in 205 guesses, I'm hooked! Can't work out how to share my results eg percentages but feeling quite pleased with my second attempt, did yesterday too but took a few more guesses

EatSleepReplete · 04/05/2022 22:00

That was a really hard one.

What knob was it who introduced this game? I am hooked, and I am so shit at it too.
Got today's in 319 guesses. I am bald from pulling my hair out.

Coord · 04/05/2022 22:11

I could have sat there all night and not got that. 220 guesses with 30% accuracy then caved and did a full-on google search using a sentence plus the word wiki to make sure I found it with no fuss (usually look for gentle clues rather than a rapid denouement when I give in to google).

I solved today's Redactle (#28) in 140 guesses …thought I had cracked it at 65 but then went the long way round!

I think that one was tough. Having a son doing a relevant A level helped a bit but it was still quite niche.

suckingonchillidogs · 04/05/2022 22:43

Fecks sake - 510 guesses later and still can't get it. Giving up now - it's obviously quite niche. Bet when the answer comes out I'll still be none the wiser!

Well that was hard!

I solved today's Redactle (#28) in 182 guesses with an accuracy of 35.16%. Played at www.redactle.com/

I had the field by 148 and a very near word (and a word in a different language) by about 170).

A big fat cheating google from me today. I would never have guessed it as I have never heard of it!

not too bad, was trying not to search wikipedia for sentence fragments.

MissedItByThisMuch · 04/05/2022 23:20

I don’t think this is going to go well - 20 guesses in so far and zero words 😱. None of my usual starter words are getting me anywhere…

MissedItByThisMuch · 04/05/2022 23:30

Right. Have the general area - feeling stupid because I know something about this area and should have recognised patterns in the blanks.

Akite · 04/05/2022 23:33

Got there! That was so hard today, usual useful words were just hopeless. had to work hard to get anywhere at all then resorted to google.

MissedItByThisMuch · 04/05/2022 23:53

Phew! 88 guesses with an accuracy of 37.5%. Not my worst, and didn’t resort to cheating googling sentence fragments in quotes, but it’s a specialised area that I know something about, so not great either.

I didn't Google this time because I thought I could dredge something up from college. Got the area quickly because of the letter pattern, still hard work though.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 05/05/2022 08:48

I'm new to Redactle but if they're all like that I need to roll my sleeves up. Grin
