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!

I solved today's Redactle (#321) in 275 guesses with an accuracy of 28.73%.

If you've got the genre, (bad pun alert upcoming) maybe you can't get it because it seems to be the hardest word?

Brilliant thank you

I can't make it finish today, because of the unusual character!

I C&P from the actual TARGET page, and it's filled in, so I have the full title there, but it's not "completed" the article (and the C&P'ed guess doesn't appear in my guess list). The other possible spellings without that character don't work.

Anyone got any ideas how to get it to play nicely?

dapsnotplimsolls · 25/02/2023 20:01

No idea, I've given up!

InMySpareTime · 25/02/2023 20:08

I gave up too.
I spent a while just filling it in but it's a really long and quite dull article so I stopped about halfway down on about 600 guesses (I filled in the title and all possible spellings of both title words at about 100)

AuntieStella · 25/02/2023 20:11

Resign myself to a gap in my stats then!!

ErrolTheDragon · 25/02/2023 20:14

I couldn't find any way to get the piece to fill in either. I think it's a bug.

ZiriForEver · 25/02/2023 21:17

I managed to finish by copying the word with ligature from elsewhere online.
This worked for me:

Just tried that from the actual wiki page and it just put it as the guess that filled in the title, but didn't uncover the article.
I got the weird lettered spelling for that guess by long pressing a on my phone keyboard.
Did you copy the word from somewhere else?

No, I'm just blind, and was so happy it filled the title that I didn't care about the full article

BIWI · 26/02/2023 16:13

Even though I've copied the specific format of the letters, it's still not completing the article, so I've given up for now. Means I've lost my 'streak' but I don't really mind about that.

It's a new day now, the horror of "the Redactle that could not be named" is over.

dapsnotplimsolls · 26/02/2023 16:32

Glad I broke my streak a while ago when I did it on a different device and forgot to put it into my usual one!

AuntieStella · 26/02/2023 18:17

I've just been looking at my stats, and yesterday is simply not there.

Is that what usually happens?

needtowalkmore · 26/02/2023 21:14

Anyone got any tips for today? Got a few key words but nothing substantial yet

needtowalkmore · 26/02/2023 21:16

Got it! Posting here must be my lucky charm!

storminabuttercup · 20/03/2023 13:01

Any hints please? Struggling today

Hopefully you've got the broad area...
It sounds like a gathering of Bible literalists.

Where is everyone going for redactle at the moment, please? The redactle.com address hasn't worked for me for a while now.

So Stuck on today's! I've got the general area but can't get to it.

EnterACloud · 24/03/2023 15:36

Anyone around for a bit of last minute help???

EnterACloud · 24/03/2023 15:37

Ah ignore - found something to google. That was painful.
