i also cant get the letter counting on my lap top

Madcats · 29/08/2022 17:30

Can I join you all? I'm about a week into Redactle. I was really chuffed to solve "rifle" in 11, but I've gone downhill since.

Today/yesterday I picked up a word hint from Reddit out of desperation, "case", and then twigged it might be a legal wiki.

Hopefully I'll find a browser/tablet that lets me see the word count as that would really help!

Fairly lucky to hit on the right theme, then a matter of dredging up one with the right number of letters.

I solved today's Redactle (#145) in 4 guesses with an accuracy of 100.00%. Played at www.redactle.com/

NooNakedJacuzziness · 29/08/2022 17:51

I got todays in 49 guesses with 53% accuracy - very pleased with that!

I solved today's Redactle (#145) in 7 guesses with an accuracy of 71.43%. Played at www.redactle.com/

Got the theme from my first guess for which there was an obvious clue in the few words given, but had to use Google to check the word itself as it was hidden away in the depths of my brain!

I need a lie down now!

Pretty sure I've only heard of the word via what's mentioned in the second paragraph.

You can get the number of letters by looking at redactle unlimited and clicking on the word(s). Today's was a proper booger.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 29/08/2022 18:42

oh good idea @dapsnotplimsolls

Got lots of that, but had to google in the end!

Ccoffee · 29/08/2022 19:54

90 but did some heavy googling from about guess 75

Phew, that was a little bit painful but interesting to Google

dapsnotplimsolls · 29/08/2022 23:09

MrsElm · 29/08/2022 21:42

Presumably copied and pasted the unusual bit of language in redactle unlimited.

If you knew a lot about this subject, the xxx.xx which occurred a few times might jump out at you. (I didn't know what it was)

MsMarvellous · 30/08/2022 02:57

@MrsElm I look for bits of the text that are a bit odd and try and find what it it that way. I use Google. To me it's a puzzle to solve with any tool. Sometimes I can do it that way, other time it takes many, many, guesses to even get the field 🤣

I thought Redactle Unlimited had different targets to the main game?

MsMarvellous · 30/08/2022 06:29

@dapsnotplimsolls didn't even look at redactle unlimited. Just keep the Norma redactle tab open on my phone and do it every day

ErrolTheDragon · 30/08/2022 07:25

The 'daily' option gives the same game. But the shared report has a different format so you can tell who has used what.

Good Lord! That was a hard slog! Most difficult one for me in ages
