I solved today's Redactle (#34) in 13 guesses with an accuracy of 61.54%. Played at www.redactle.com/

so flipping pleased. Usually takes ages and about 150+ guesses. Got lucky with making a connection.

Huh, I was really not expecting that. I thought I was just filling in a very minor tangent point further down and it turned out to be the whole bloody thing.

Oh, that was unexpected! I was happily filling out one of the references and boom.

77 guesses!

how do I find the stats to copy?

@SheilaFentiman refresh the redactle page and stats appear above the article.

I suspect we did the same thing!

@SheilaFentiman - your post just gave away the answer, you need to report it so mumsnet can edit it

I was on the right track early on but took me ages to guess the exact answer

Gah, sorry, sorry, have reported

I will stop trying to be fancy and just say my stats :-D

I got the theme around 120 guesses but had to google when I ran out of types of thing that I know.

Thank goodness - after the last couple of days, this was much better for me.

That was interesting - if only I’d followed up on one of the references where I had two interesting words.

That’s me just now.227 guesses in, I know the thing and specifics about the thing, but now not a specific label. Am just enjoying filling in the blanks now for the fun of it :)

That took me far too long today . Hadn't even got much of a theme until 430 words in .

I solved today's Redactle (#34) in 161 guesses with an accuracy of 50.93%. Played at www.redactle.com/

Also completed due to one of the references and also surprised when all the words appeared.

I like it when I know the theme and figure I'll work it out at some point, like today's. I dislike it when I can't work out the theme.

I actively don't like the wider subject of todays, and know nothing about it. So unsurprisingly I was floundering around for a LONG time and ended up using Google as I simply don't know enough to have ever guessed (hello College of Cardinals)

269 guesses. What a shitshow.

I’m learning to enjoy the journey as much as the destination 🙂

Total fail on cicadas, even if I'd had more time I don't think I'd have got it. Better today:

I solved today's Redactle (#34) in 108 guesses with an accuracy of 61.11%.

I only got cicadas because I'd manage to uncover "over 3,000 species of xxx" and knew the theme was insects, I had to google which insect it would be 😬

I got cicadas by uncovering "true bugs" in the first paragraph, then looked up what things are actually true bugs and cicadas was about the right length of word.
