Nope, never would have got this one 😬 Second day in a row of Googling for me. Oops!

afuckinggoat · 14/05/2022 17:03

What was yesterday’s?

BowerOfBramble · 14/05/2022 17:16

I solved today's Redactle (#38) in 35 guesses with an accuracy of 60.00%. Played at www.redactle.com/

should have got it at 24 as I got the 10th word of the first sentence at 23 but I’m still very chuffed.

Nice one today - was able to guess at it.

What was yesterday’s?

I think it was protist!

Spudlet · 14/05/2022 17:26

Little bit of Googling for ideas today - I knew the general area, but not enough about it.

@PollyannaWhittier that's a very niche knowledge base! Of all the things that are and have been, what thought process led you there within 5 (all correct) guesses?
Obviously answer after 5 when we're onto the new one.

It helps that I work in a school science department, and it's in the current GCSE syllabus 🙂I only looked at the first paragraph. I filled in :
That (---- is, blah blah blah
Animal, which is always one of my early guesses
Not
So then I had 'not an animal, blank, or blank.
So then I was eliminating the different taxonomic kingdoms
Plant was in the text but not the answer
Choice between protist, archaea, bacteria or fungus
Protist turned out to be the answer !!!

Oops, sorry for the double post !

This is OK. I skirted around it for ages.

InMySpareTime · 14/05/2022 17:42

I really enjoyed that one, could have got it sooner as I recognised the quotes quite early, but I was enjoying filling in the text for a while.

Picked the general theme quite quickly today. Then had to think a little.

theDudesmummy · 14/05/2022 17:51

I know many will get it in less but I was quite pleased to get today's in 83, with no googling! (especially after yesterday's protist, which was a disaster!).

Amazed I got that considering how sparse my knowledge of subject is . Happy with that , no googling required for a change

I'm quite new to this and haven't posted before but I'm so chuffed with myself today. I'm normally way into the hundreds and googling like crazy.

Got the general theme quite quickly but took a bit of narrowing down. I say narrowing down, a few more likely gap-fillers and then a guess based on the size of the word.

AuntieStella · 14/05/2022 18:24

Other way round to you, User12398712

I took a while to hit the right theme, then it was quick

Hit the theme quickly, for once!

I solved today's Redactle (#38) in 48 guesses with an accuracy of 68.75%. Played at www.redactle.com/

I got a couple of key words within the first 10, but that gave a pretty big scope... wish I'd filled in a quote I recognised sooner!

JassyRadlett · 14/05/2022 18:32

Yes, I took the long way round but learned a few future clues on the way!

suckingonchillidogs · 14/05/2022 18:38

Got today's in 41 guesses with 70.73% accuracy - I've redeemed myself after yesterday's horror!

That should not have taken so long. I got two key words but for some reason took ages before I got the title. Kicking myself for it.
