Time for a new thread.

Ah, got it. Thank you.

Pedantle automatically does simple plurals but only enters the word once, I think. But in all other regards that game is a bugger compared to redactle.

Found this one really dull tbh. Even if I have no expertise in alligators, skirts, bed bugs or Roald Dahl I still find those types of subjects (and therefore the guessing) to be more interesting. Horses for courses I suppose.

Best I've ever done! Took me less than a minute - so much for my attempt at procrastination 😂

Realised v quick what type of thing it was and then needed a quick google as didn't know exactly what the first word would be (and would need to go back to school to find out otherwise)

Found what looked like a key phrase and Googled that, which gave me a really big clue - otherwise not an area of any expertise or knowledge.

About time we had something about cooking or literature!

This is by far my best one, I was second!

Looking back at the topics since I started (at #15), I think there's been a reasonable spread (given it's from the top 10k 'vital topics'). I'd have said we were a bit light on engineering and very much so on medicine/healthcare.

You inspired me @InMySpareTime - this must be some kind of miracle

I was only 62nd though!

there's been a tonne of physics and chemistry, also some engineering

hardly any music, literature, politics (not sure there's been anything)

That was really quick! Don't know what I'm going to do for the rest of my bus journey home!

Interesting one! Can see a lit of people being happier today

Today’s took me ages. I must have come up with every word connected to the subject except the right one.

Went round the houses a wee bit.

I solved today's Redactle (#68) in 28 guesses with an accuracy of 50.00%. Played at www.redactle.com/, definitely one that suddenly clicked

Yesterday's had a massive clue (unredacted ups and downs in a table) which if you know a little bit of particle physics helped narrow it down to the right subject area.

Skirt a couple of weeks ago had an A- (A-line) but I completely missed that one

Got it in 4
would have been 3 except I was on my phone and mistyped my first word!

Happy to explain how I did it tomorrow.

Yesterday I took about 40 - I decided to have a stab at the individual letters because there were so many of them in all the citations at the bottom: that gave me a book title "Q is For ....." and I guessed Quantum and Quark, which lit up the page like a fruit machine, after which it was pretty simple. But if all the ups and downs immediately made you suspect quarks then you'd be quicker than that because I wasted 15 guesses on letters of the alphabet.
