Redactle - THE HINTS THREAD

[BIWI]

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!

Thank you so much- no wonder I didn’t get that!

Could I have a hint for today's please?

Maybe, maybe not, I dunno.

@Berriesinsummer Don't Speak had none of it.

@InMySpareTime Thanks got it now!!

Anyone got a hint for todays? Not getting anywhere!

Just got the general topic - not my specialty by a long shot, time to give up!

Think of a table....

None of the title words are specialist. You definitely know them.
HHe is missing from the article so the first sentence is a lie on Redactle and it bears little resemblance to the Wiki article.

Got it - thanks both. I thought it was going to be more specific.

any clues for today?

@creamcoffee it's the sort of thing Elon Musk used to be good at before he went all weird over Twitter.
In terms of the words, the first word is a naughty kid descriptor and the second one is a Wallace and Grommity word.

oh thank you @InMySpareTime
i have never heard of it, but just got there!

Thank goodness for the hint, I was skirting round the answer but wouldn't have got it

Help please! got the first hyphenated words and loooads of words in the article but can't get there.

@GoldenCupidon perhaps you're looking too far Bach, try Jazzing it up a bit.

Think about the arts?

This is hilarious and got me there in about 4 more guesses! Thank you both.

@dapsnotplimsolls think about the one thing everyone knows about how light travels. It's the subject of how light doesn't always do that in certain circumstances.
It's proper weird!

Thank you, got it in the end. Had to google some phrases.

There's no way I'd have got that without much ferocious Googling @dapsnotplimsolls!

Definitely my most-feared topic!

I've got the second word but really stuck any more hints please?

@storminabuttercup ❌📏

Thank you so much.
Turns out I'd tried that. But I can't spell! 😃
