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.

I was 3rd to find it. Not sure yet whether I like it but Redactle was quick today so it was good to have a go at something else

InMySpareTime · 20/05/2022 20:18

I tried every other kind of third word in the general area before I hit that one.

I'm sort of getting the hang of this, it seems to be easier than redactle but still confuses me when the words keep changing!

One of the reasons it's harder than redactle (imo) is that it seems to be just the introduction to a topic, so doesn't have some of the clues found in a whole wiki page.

ENoeuf · 20/05/2022 20:03

I can't follow it! I thought it was revealing all the words I'd guessed and that it was just really poorly written. I'm not sure about how they are related? Similar meaning or sounds like?

Eg garden - guard
Or
Garden - field

???

Semantic relationships, similar to cemantle. Click the i icon in the top right corner for info.
If you've played cemantle you'll know the relationships aren't always very direct, not just synonyms.

Don't think I'll keep up with this one, something about the different colours and fonts gives me a headache 😵‍

I was the 500th person to get Pedantle #2, quite enjoyed that.

Thanks for pointing me to this! I am addicted to Redactle and yesterday's was too quick. This is fun too, once you take a few minutes to understand it.

It makes better sense if you have been playing cemantle, which is a little different from redactle, and has the colour coding.

BowerOfBramble · 21/05/2022 11:41

Thanks for nothing for this! Took a bit of understanding but think I get it now. I think redactle has trained me to assume it’s something complicated when it isn’t necessarily!

What was the Day 1 answer? I couldn't get my head around it.

Ignore that, just seen it on the page. FFS.

WTAF was today's pedantle! I took half an hour and was 11th (with a bit of googling once I had a narrow area to work to).
That is properly obscure.

I got the general subject area but then had to Google, have never heard of this!

Got to 200 guesses then had to hard core google and it still took another 20 guesses. Never heard of it!
