Bloody hell, was I ever down the wrong rabbit hole on this one! Got it in 140 thanks to Google

Ccoffee · 26/08/2022 19:26

23 guesses. Tried a similar word with same number of letters which was wrong, slight tangent and then remembered what my mind was actually looking for.

Haha. That was a nightmare. Two very different sections sent me in two completely different directions.

Was the hint deliberate?Grin

Tricky one today, but I got it quickly.

A classic example of not getting too bogged down in lower paragraphs!

I was really surprised when the article suddenly popped up.

Not a subject I know much about, I was surprised when the word was the answer but it was about the only word I know on the subject (I probably read it in a book once). Took ages to get even an idea of the topic though, lots of zeroes to start.

I know the word, but I dicked about for ages with loads of zeros.

I solved today's Redactle (#143) in 65 guesses with an accuracy of 9.23%. Played at www.redactle.com/

I am very familiar with the word (use it almost daily) but like others, it was unexpected so took a long time to get there with a lot of zeros.

I let DH "help" whilst I cooked....can't blame him though, I don't think I would have got it any quicker on my own.

Wasn’t actually a serious guess, was just trying to find words to get me to the target!

Lucky guess on the 5th word helped.
