The bit of unredacted text in yesterday's (something like <33°C) turned out to be why Siamese cats have dark extremities - fascinating!


Some of my wrong 3 letter words were helpful, fortunately

@MrsLargeEmbodied I said how a few posts ago, I'll screenshot how it's done after 5 when I can do it on a redacted screen.

@MrsLargeEmbodied if you touch a blank area (ie redacted word) to highlight it you can move along it letter by letter and count them.

Would have got it faster but I was stuck on the other first word and kept trying versions even when it clearly wasn't that!

And I forgot to do the screenshots so here they are from Redactle unlimited (same idea)
Screenshot 1 shows 1 letter highlighted.
Screenshot 2 shows 2 letters highlighted.
Move the space slowly and count the letter spaces in the word to find word lengths.

I've actually never heard of that so I had to do some cautious words entering to get the first word in particular.

16 there - mercifully quick and probably the only quick one where I've had to Google as it obviously wasn't what I thought it might be.

Letter count was useful on that one and then some head scratching to work out what would fit

Got the third word on first guess...then had 10 stabs at the first word. Finally googled as I was clearly on wrong track, and wouldn't have got it without googling I don't think.

knew the third word straight away from a similar thing but haven’t heard of the overall answer so took a lot of goes working it out. Was on the verge of Googling when I had sudden inspiration!
