Slow start but once I guessed one particular theme it flowed quite quickly! I solved today's Redactle (#32) in 38 guesses with an accuracy of 42.11%. Played at www.redactle.com/

WheelofLife · 08/05/2022 21:48

54 words with 61% accuracy. Made up for yesterdays fiasco!!!!

Something weird happened yesterday. I put in the word ‘Romantic’ and got four hits. My partner put it in on his computer and only go two. Something a bit glitchy going on there

After getting it in 24 yesterday, I've done terribly today.

In fact just 2 guesses as I had automatic pluralising on! I'm amazed.

I prefer ones where I can understand the title!

luciatrope · 08/05/2022 23:20

149 guesses, plurals on, no google

Enjoyable but should have got it earlier! Kicking myself!!

iklboo · 09/05/2022 00:03

110 guesses, 64.55% accuracy. Not a bad one.

RequiemTonight · 09/05/2022 07:45

I solved today's Redactle (#32) in 74 guesses with an accuracy of 62.16%. Played at www.redactle.com/

i had something like 90% accuracy for the first 40 guesses - but totally leading me up the wrong path. I found a new, more concrete lead which, when linked with a bit of info in the first paragraph gave me the answer.
I was certain that guess 74 was the answer, but until a low scoring guess at 73 I had no idea. There was something very satisfying about that.

alloutofcareunits · 09/05/2022 08:32

62 guesses, I'm addicted now! Thanks Mumsnet for bringing this into my life 😂

PollyannaWhittier · 09/05/2022 13:17

My best ever score !

I solved today's Redactle (#32) in 10 guesses with an accuracy of 90.00%. Played at www.redactle.com/

I've changed my way of playing. I used to use Google or Wiki search but it felt like cheating. I know it's not and anyone can play however they like! Now I've decided not to Google. I might change my mind though when the answer is something I've never even heard of 😂

I solved today's Redactle (#32) in 131 guesses with an accuracy of 53.44%. Played at www.redactle.com/

Much more fun than yesterday, where I ran out of time in the end.

Should have got it sooner but it took me to 60 before I used one of my key started guesses!

Yesterday's one...autumn. I'm curious how the round-the-houses solves went. I got stuck on a sports track and I kind of knew it was a dead end as all the hits were in a paragraph low down the page, but I plugged on with sports terms, thinking if I could make sense of the paragraph it might help and then hit on seasons which pinged all over the place.

YouLookinSusBro · 09/05/2022 17:35

I didn't get time to finish yesterdays, better get started on the new one 😁

Yes, it's funny how we can get stuck in the wrong area in this (and also games like semantle). I went astray in the 'literary genres' one because although I'd worked out it was some sort of classification, I'd guessed 'species', and that just doesn't go with 'genre'. And there was only one occurrence of 'book'.

Coord · 09/05/2022 17:48

Got today's in 152 guesses, 50% accuracy, no googling. Bit irritated as I steered so close to the answer fairly early on then decided to try other avenues.

I thought it was all about pagan ceremonies, not helped by Halloween having its own section.

OwBist · 09/05/2022 17:55

With yesterday's, I got a bit stuck in geography. Going to have a look at today's now. Wish me luck! 😃
