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

As before, only rule is no spoilers!

I solved today's Redactle (#46) in 146 guesses with an accuracy of 36.99%. Played at www.redactle.com/

Totally random guess.
I was working on it for ages. Stopped fo a couple of hours, came back and got it in 1 go!

FooFighter99 · 23/05/2022 12:11

Really struggling today! Can someone please give me a hint 🙏

InMySpareTime · 23/05/2022 12:16

@FooFighter99 it's a kind of sandwich

@FooFighter99 it's a kind of sandwich

Yeah, that didn't help at all 😂

Well that’s ruined my afternoon

InMySpareTime · 23/05/2022 12:58

@BarbaraWoodlouse sorry? It's not actually that obvious a hint, and this puzzle is only up for another 4 hours. You'd need to have revealed quite a bit of it already for it to even be a pointer. I can have it removed as a spoiler if you find it that upsetting.

Boopear · 23/05/2022 13:10

I know what it is and I still don't understand the hint 😂

InMySpareTime · 23/05/2022 13:13

I'll tell you after 5

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 23/05/2022 13:30

I'd never heard of the hint either 🤔

The hint means nothing to me and I know the answer.

The hint means nothing to me and I know the answer.

Me neither!

I think I also tried the key word that others have, that doesn't show up, so it took an age this one!

Oh well - at least it was something I'd heard of so I didn't end up googling!

I've still got the redactle from last night....is there meant to be a new one by now?

Lougle · 23/05/2022 16:32

I have redactle #46 showing (and it's solved). When does redactle #47 show?

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 23/05/2022 16:35

5pm UK time

Zonder · 23/05/2022 16:35

5pm I think

Friolero · 23/05/2022 17:04

I think this is my quickest ever!

InMySpareTime · 23/05/2022 17:06

Ok so the obscure clue was based on a dad joke:
"Waiter, I'd like an alligator sandwich, and make it snappy!"
I thought it was a well-known joke, but clearly not.

ApolloandDaphne · 23/05/2022 17:26

I solved today's Redactle (#47) in 101 guesses with an accuracy of 45.54%. Played at www.redactle.com/

I liked uncovering that one.

ErrolTheDragon · 23/05/2022 17:31

There's a couple of (I think accidental) clues in this one. But I had to then think pretty hard to see what would fit them and the rest of the text, with some knowledge of what wouldn't fit. And then go for it...

What was the actual answer?

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 23/05/2022 17:43

Yeah some weird "mistakes" today, I spotted one after a proper look.

I solved today's Redactle (#47) in 21 guesses with an accuracy of 90.48%. Played at www.redactle.com/

InMySpareTime · 23/05/2022 17:54

@AlisonDonut it was "Alligator" hence type of sandwich.

MrsElm · 23/05/2022 18:04

I got it in 58 guesses. Had got the general theme and then more specific words, and was considering Google, when the answer literally popped into my head and I tried it 😅
