Redactle - THE HINTS THREAD

825 replies

BIWI · 29/06/2022 09:32

Given how difficult it is to offer hints for redactle, without giving it away/being too obvious, this is a specific thread for hints.

Doesn't mean that they should give the game away, but it just stops other players seeing the hint every time they access the main thread.

So from now on, just keep your stats and general comments on the main thread and come here for any hints!

@beccahamlet it's a capital place to learn stuff

dapsnotplimsolls · 26/10/2022 19:59

Think of a city that wouldn't go down well in Qatar.

beccahamlet · 26/10/2022 20:31

beccahamlet · 26/10/2022 20:33

Do you have either of the words? One is a type of the thing, the other a descriptor, a very common word.

NewBootsAndRanty · 27/10/2022 19:26

I could offer a clue but it wouldn't be a big one.

GoldenCupidon · 27/10/2022 19:47

Had to google - what A WALLY.

dapsnotplimsolls · 27/10/2022 21:02

I had to google for the first word - I couldn't think of any types that had the right number of letters!

beccahamlet · 29/10/2022 04:53

Any hints for today's? I've got the first word.

beccahamlet · 29/10/2022 06:04

Got it now

NooNakedJacuzziness · 30/10/2022 19:09

HELP please - I've got so many random words in todays, I can't seem to get on the right track.

dapsnotplimsolls · 30/10/2022 19:15

Focus on location.

dapsnotplimsolls · 30/10/2022 19:16

And think about similarities with Scotland.

InMySpareTime · 30/10/2022 19:31

@NooNakedJacuzziness
It's the home of the language of sporty dragons, and if you had one letter wrong it might give you Road Rage.

NooNakedJacuzziness · 30/10/2022 19:38

Got it - wasn't thinking along the right lines at all. Thank you both!

alterego2 · 31/10/2022 17:35

@InMySpareTime Your clue intrigues me. I get the Road Rage but sporty dragons? What am I missing here?

InMySpareTime · 31/10/2022 17:36

@alterego2 they're a rugby team:

alterego2 · 31/10/2022 17:37

Aaah - that makes sense. Thank you!

dapsnotplimsolls · 31/10/2022 18:04

I hadn't thought of the Road Rage connection. My next clue was going to be Freddie going operatic :)

ErrolTheDragon · 31/10/2022 18:10

The 'road rage' clue baffled me - and I knew the answer.Confused

MrsLargeEmbodied · 31/10/2022 18:12

i think Road Rage is an excellent hint, now of course I know the answer Halloween Grin

AuntieStella · 31/10/2022 18:47
