Pedantle: new online word game!

1000 replies

Plexie · 19/05/2022 22:12

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 actually got one of the words at 183, but forgot to check for plurals... how I wish it automatically did that like redactle does! Took me another 2 hours...

Had to Google once I had the second word as I'd never heard of it. I have now!

I wanted to do this without Google, but that proved impossible as I'd never heard of many of the words in this article. :(

I wish there the article was longer as it is a really short one.

I'm slightly embarrassed that it took me so long to get this one!

InMySpareTime · 27/05/2022 04:55

Took me ages to even get enough to Google. The two main words aren't even English words and I've never had cause to use them.

I got there - found one of the target words last night, and knew I didn't know the other. But slept on it and got there this morning by a bit of lucky (though informed) guessing.

Glad not to have needed to google - but if you don't know the topic and therefore won't know at least one of the key title words then I don't think there's an alternative on this one.

The setters do seem to go beyond typical general knowledge in this game.

ErrolTheDragon · 27/05/2022 08:42

I'd have got it sooner if I'd not forgotten one of the basic words I usually throw in first (one of the ones you get for free in redactle). I didn't think it was particularly obscure today (though had to Google the spelling of the last word) but I guess that depends on what sorts of things you have to read!

InMySpareTime · 27/05/2022 09:15

And what languages you studied!

theDudesmummy · 27/05/2022 10:09

Wow that was something.

Coord · 27/05/2022 12:17

That was difficult, I got the first term in the header but hadn't heard of the second so had to google for that one.
