Redactle 3

[MrsElm]

Well, we are still going! And still learning about subjects new and old!

As before, only rule is no spoilers!

... no I'm not, it starts at noon pacific time

Not expecting that.
one of my starter words is in the title and I would have been a few words less if not for a US/UK spelling confusion.

I solved today's Redactle (#42) in 20 guesses with an accuracy of 70.00%. Played at www.redactle.com/

Regarding spelling. I’m sure this has been asked before but is there a standard between US & UK and words vs numbers?

I am starting to get confused about which ones I have done, because of the non-midnight switch over time. Apparently I did the day before yesterday's, but not yesterdays.

Regarding spelling. I’m sure this has been asked before but is there a standard between US & UK and words vs numbers?

I don't think so.
In this case, of course, the 'standard' is that the word in the title must be what's actually used in the name of the thing! In general I'd expect British English spelling to be used in matters specific to the U.K. and for US. E.g if you find the pages pertain to the midpoint of the U.K. and US, the former uses "centre" and the latter "Center".
For global issues, the 'American' is nowadays generally the norm - especially as in this case when both spellings are perfectly acceptable in British English (I suspect the 'American' variant may now be used more frequently).

If the subject is technical then the spelling should be whatever is the accepted international standard for experts in the field. So for instance, if you were looking at the pages on chemical elements, the spellings should be what's been agreed by IUPAC. So, sulfur not sulphur , aluminium not aluminum. In one case 'American', in the other 'British'.

American spelling got me this time (I got the UK spelling of one of the words at guess 45 with no hits)

Much better day! (Glad I was warned about the American spelling though - seems unfair it doesn't automatically correct it, like cemantle does)

I’ve definitely seen UK spellings before which is why I got stuck with this one as I wasn’t expecting it.

That was quick! I got one of the title words and the rest followed. Only annoyance was my autocorrect kept defaulting to the British (otherwise known as 'correct' ) spelling. So I should have got it in 5.

I solved today's Redactle (#42) in 6 guesses with an accuracy of 83.33%.

Me too! When it wasn't that I was totally flummoxed for a while!

I solved today's Redactle (#42) in 116 guesses with an accuracy of 53.45%. Played at www.redactle.com/

I lost a few chances on this one due to Americanisation of words, but my total failure to get the middle word of the title until I tried all alphabetical combinations of the initials. As soon as I got the right three initials the word popped straight in to my head!

I could easily have got that in at least 20 less words if I'd have not done either of those things!

Those of you that, like me, like to complete sentences, do you have a bit of an internal competition with yourself about how many words you can get at the start before you hit a 0?!

Well this makes up for my ongoing atrocious attempt at solving todays Cemantle!

I solved today's Redactle (#43) in 4 guesses with an accuracy of 100.00%. Played at www.redactle.com/

I was going to say I can’t ever beat that but then I saw Errol’s!
To be fair, my first guess got pluralised so turned into two.
Competitive, me?

Disappointingly quick today!

Oh Brava, Errol! 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉

I was sufficiently sure of the answer that I just went for it!

Well done Errol! You'll have to tell us tomorrow what your first guess was!

I can tell you now - my two guesses were just the two words of the title.
