I solved today's Redactle (#36) in 125 guesses with an accuracy of 43.20%. Played at www.redactle.com/

Finally solved one by the skin of my teeth....now off to work 😃

The reason I should have got it quicker is that it relevant to my job and two words that got early should have made it obvious. Specialist knowledge not cleverness.

442 and still no bloody idea!!!!!

Got it in 473! So bad, probably the worst ever

Finally! 299 guesses, 40.47% accuracy

I also took over 200 and kicked myself, it is something I am very familiar with as it is very relevant to my DH's hobby...

Took me 207, which is quite annoying given that I got the last six words of the first paragraph, and hence the essential definition, at around 130.

Went down many a blind alley, fun though.

Like others I went into the wrong aspects of this.
When it was Singapore I got so many hits on politics and Parliament that I spent ages on that topic!

Probably more like 80 as I started on my phone before realising I was onto a loser. Got one lucky word and that helped, usually I am somewhere 200-300.

Now this is making me wonder!

I can guess!

It’s a hobby DH and I both share (if it’s the same one). Even more popular in the Netherlands?

Any clues please?!

i got a fair way on my own, but exhausted my knowledge pretty quickly. Had to google as I Would never have guessed it even if I had all but the key word.

Wow! That was tough!!

Can't share, but my goodness 😑
Over 160 guesses and 34% accuracy, I uncovered 3 words early on and they took me down the wrong path completely.

@TheAbbotOfUnreason not a VERY popular hobby but is all over the world, wherever there are bodies of water...(hopefully not giving much away there as the subject of the article is not always involved by any means).

Argh! Why am I finding this one so hard?! I can’t get any breakthrough words!

I also found it ridiculously hard, despite actually having what I should have realised WERE breakthrough defining words from early on, and it being something I am very familiar with. I kicked myself at the end.

Ah, not the one I’m thinking of then (mine relates to something that is mentioned in the article).

Finally got it! After asking DH for a clue. That was so hard!

Found this one a bit disappointing - got enough of the first sentence to know full well that I had no idea of the name for this thing so ended up googling.

You solved it in 87 guesses
Your accuracy was 32.18%

I solved today's Redactle (#37) in 31 guesses with an accuracy of 67.74%. Played at www.redactle.com/

This one is a bit divisive, I’d say

Is it weird to prefer the ones that take 250 guesses and turn out to be, I dunno, reef knot?
