Pedantle: new online word game!

1000 replies

Anyone found this yet? It started today as an offshoot of Cemantle.

cemantle.herokuapp.com/pedantle

It's like Redactle in that you have to guess the words of (part) of a Wiki entry, but unlike Redactle (which displays the whole text once you have guessed the title) Pedantle lets you carry on guessing individual words after you've guessed the title, so you can 'play' for longer. Then you can click the reveal text button to see the whole entry.

It's on US time (west coast) and a new game starts at either 7pm or 8pm BST.

140 guesses and had to google. Got the second word fairly on and was convinced the first word was on the tip of my tongue so kept on going. Turns out it was nowhere near the tip of my tongue and I wouldn't have got it.

i don't think I've ever got a Pedantle without googling.

Would not have got that first word without a final Google. Not my area of expertise at all.

Yes, had to Google to get the first word once I'd got 2/3 of the alternative name and knew I wouldn't have heard of it.

I should have got this sooner but I was misled by the fact that the gap lengths don't accurately correspond to the number of letters.

Oh I'm stuck. I thought being so short it would be easy but I think I'm way off.
