Redactle 7 http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/4639224-redactle-7

I think redactle is broken!

I've got all three words of the title, but the article hasn't filled itself in, so it looks like I haven't solved it

It's looking a tough one too

I did it in 41, so not too bad.

It's confused by the punctuation in one of the words. My first attempt at it filled in two words but not the occurrence in the title. So I tried copy and pasting it from the wiki page itself as I was sure it was right - that filled in the title but still hasn't filled in the whole page.

I'd have had it in 3 if it wasn't being weird about the punctuation.

Mine hasn't filled in the whole page either even though I have all the words

I had to do the first word in two parts to complete it

Ah... that did it. Meanwhile I buggered my stats further by trying all the variants of the wretched punctuation character on my tablet keyboard

I did enter the correct punctuation - should I have not done that?!

I've tried different variations, and none of them works.

So I'm just going to leave it, but knowing that I did solve it, in 41!!!

Only took the first word when I copied it from the article but didn't fill it when I typed it in exactly the same

Sames.
Except I got bored and started filling the article in when I couldn't get it.

Put in the word up to the punctuation mark, and then put in the bit after.

Bloody hell, that was irritating!

41 guesses though!. The rest were faffing around trying to get it to unlock.

That was jolly tedious. I got the first part of the first word at guess 7 but it didn't fill it in in the title - or in any of the many many similar instances in the article! So I thought I was off on the wrong tack. Even more annoying when I then had to faff around guessing the entirety of the first word, and then input the second bit to get it to "appear" in the article and complete it.

Grrr.

Should have been about 10!

Yes, the idiosyncratic formatting led me very badly astray as well

@BIWI I have the same problem, I’ve unlocked all three title words but it appears unsolved still. How did you get it to give you the completion message from there, please? I’m desperate not to lose my huge streak!

@WhiteArsenic put the last letter of the first word in as a separate guess and it should uncover the article.

@WhiteArsenic enter the first word including the punctuation mark and then, separately, add the last letter

(If that is too cryptic I'll send you a PM!)

YES!! Thank you both so much! I hadn’t done the last letter alone. Bloody hell, how annoying. Streak preserved, I’m really grateful!

String logic, according to DH

Weird formatting (thank's for the clues!) getting the article to unlock by adding the final letter which gives 0 hits was a bit strange.

Badly implemented, especially as the body of the piece behaved differently to the title.
