Oh FFS - I thought I'd guessed the third TARGET word at about guess 63 (where I started variants and v close relations) but got there eventually!

Disappointingly easy. What am I going to to now for the next half an hour?!

Could have done it much earlier if the algorhythm gave you credit for writing the thing normally. Not that I'm grumpy about it or anything.

6 guesses and 100% accuracy. That’s my best score yet :)

Pesky alternate spellings!

Alternative spellings don't have the right letter count

LaGioconda · 10/11/2022 22:47

I can't see letter counts on my computer. I did ask some time ago how people were managing it but got no answer. So anyone who gets it by counting letters is cheating in my book.🙄

Anyway, for today's heading it's not a case of trying to put the alternative spelling in, because I could see it would have required more words. It was a case of thinking that the correct wording couldn't be correct because it's just not a way it would ever occur to me to write it.

BIWI · 10/11/2022 23:30

I can't see the letter count either @LaGioconda! Not even on my phone.

InMySpareTime · 11/11/2022 06:07

These two pictures show how letter counting works on a phone.
Long press the word and drag the blue end of the "select" box, counting how many letter-sized jumps it makes.

Trouble is, @InMySpareTime, I don't do redactle on my phone! (I don't think I could bear to!)

But thank you for the pictures/explanation. Smile

InMySpareTime · 11/11/2022 09:23

On a computer you could right click on the word with a mouse, and drag the select box to count letters.

I'll try that later.

That's how I do it - I only realised that was possible the other week. Pedantle (cemantle.certitudes.org/pedantle) helpfully just tells you length if you click on it.
