with a lot of googling and still never heard of it

Fair play to anyone who got it today, I’m getting nowhere with it.

@Berlinlover the formatting of the first bracket narrows down the time and the second helps with place. Once you have a handle on those it’s time to Google options with the right title word lengths.

would have been faster if I could spell!

@FitYeDaeinYeMadRadgeI got lucky, there are a lot of options at that word length. The first one I tried was a good synonym but the second was much closer (bolder font on the synonym) so I went that direction.

I’m chuffed really - I was away down another road, and tried it by accident!

I will aim for the dizzy heights of under a minute! I am beginning to love this game, even though some days I tear my hair out.

@Cottagecheeseisnotcheese the format of the first sentence often indicates if it's a person. When it is a person, the format normally goes...... Name, (brackets) is/was, a/an, nationality, professions.

With this one, the nationality was "an 6" so in the back of my mind "Indian" was a good guess. Then when I see 11 or 13 letter words where the profession is described, that is quite often philosopher or mathematician. So a reasonable guess for this one was that it was an Indian philosopher. I would then have googled as I don't know any Indian philosophers with that amount of letters in their name.

I often won't take guesses if I have a good idea of what the words might be, I would rather use my guesses to try and directly guess the TARGET. Sometimes, this works, and when it doesn't I just go back to my starter words.

I hope this makes some sense!

@Nothingcompares44 I got Indian fairly quickly and worked out the symbols were a language that doesn't use the latin alphabet I then got Sanskrit hinduism and philosopher I also had 11th century and later veda but even with google I was struggling for poets writers etc In fact I probably had dozens of correct words but it toook me a long time
