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

As before, only rule is no spoilers!

I missed the big clue but actually I’m not that disappointed. The journey is much more enjoyable than the arrival in these puzzles, it’s almost a let down to get it too quickly.

Am I the only one that doesn't read the text other than the first paragraph and just starts bashing words out?!

Usually! Anything under 200 guesses is rare for me but I don't mind, just whack in whatever comes to my head and enjoy seeing where that takes me.

On this one and Meryl I did because I'd seen mention of a big clue, but normally I just can't. I try but my brain won't make sense of it until I've filled at least some of the gaps.

I solved today's Redactle (#41) in 4 guesses with an accuracy of 100.00%. Played at www.redactle.com/

I feel absolutely robbed of at least 30 minutes fun!

I'm normally in the 300's for numbers of guesses with about a 40% accuracy rate.

I solved today's Redactle (#41) in 88 guesses with an accuracy of 61.36%. Played at www.redactle.com/

I quite liked it, simple enough but satisfying to get there.

PipeScatter · 18/05/2022 13:38

It is satisfying when I get an answer without having to resort to google. I haven't had to google for a few days now, which probably means today's is going to be something I've never heard of!

I'm torn between hating them taking forever and being disappointed when I solve them quickly!

I saw the clue on this one and went completely in the wrong direction, though thankfully it was only one word. I then didn't see the relevance of the clue until I'd solved the whole thing! Not sure what it was that put me in the right direction to be honest, but I enjoyed it!

Only 3hours and 22mins to go until the next one!

Just snuck in before it changes. By this time of day 18,000 people have solved it. Once I kept going for 3 days without refreshing because I was determined to finish it.

ErrolTheDragon · 18/05/2022 16:47

Looking at the stats, I think mn probably beat the rest of the world on that one.Grin

DoorLion · 18/05/2022 17:06

Well that would have been a hell of a lot quicker if I had remembered American spelling.

Same, why do they have to spell things so strangely?

L1ttledrummergirl · 18/05/2022 17:09

111 guesses yesterday to get skirt having tried skirts.
What did I spend most of yesterday doing? Making a fucking Skirt for dd with left over fabric. Blush

I solved today's Redactle (#42) in 35 guesses with an accuracy of 34.29%. Played at www.redactle.com/

now I'm sadder than I was yesterday about guessing it so quickly. 😂

I figured the first two out quite quickly, had a little trouble with the spelling of the last.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 18/05/2022 17:19

Can anyone explain yesterday's clue that I was oblivious too please?

Imnotanumber · 18/05/2022 17:22

The clue that helped me get it was A- which was A-line - - - so skirt

GrouchyKiwi · 18/05/2022 17:23

I doubt I'll ever do better than that.

I solved today's Redactle (#42) in 7 guesses with an accuracy of 100.00%. Played at www.redactle.com/

AliasGrape · 18/05/2022 17:24

Very happy with the low (for me) number of guesses on the one hand, but also DH is wrangling the toddler whilst I ‘cook dinner’ (it’s in the oven and doesn’t need anything else doing to it) so I’d sat down with a cuppa and was looking forward to having a good go at it, then finishing later after dinner, so feel a bit short changed.

I think I’m disappointed because I didn’t do much working out - the first two words were amongst the ones I usually try quite early, and the mention of American spelling on here gave me the heads up on the rest.

I should really have got it more quickly. One of my usual starter words is in the title!

I solved today's Redactle (#42) in 9 guesses with an accuracy of 88.89%. Played at www.redactle.com/

Usual starter word in the title, my one incorrect word was because I jumped the gun about the second word! Don't think I'll better this one!

happy enough with that - although I wasted a few silly guesses when the third title word I guessed wasn’t what I first assumed.

I would have got it about 25 guesses sooner if I'd got the right spelling of the third word of the title at that point. Curses!

ApolloandDaphne · 18/05/2022 17:51

I solved today's Redactle (#42) in 129 guesses with an accuracy of 42.64%. Played at www.redactle.com/

That was more painful than it should have been due to particular reasons which I had better not mention in case it is a spoiler!

Actually that was the issue I had. It kept changing my spelling to the UK version and I assumed i had the wrong word.
