Redactle

It's Wordle meets Wiki and it will make you work. You get a heavily redacted Wiki article and have to fill in the missing words to figure out the title of the article.

I got today's puzzle in 179 guesses but I am sure a lot of you will beat that by a mile.

120. Holy carp, that was fun! I need a bigger screen than my iPad so I can see more of it at once.

Beginner's luck, guessed it in 30.

I think next time I’ll try to narrow down the subject a little bit first, before putting in general words. There are a couple I put in at the end that would have got me there a lot faster!

I got hung up on months and dates. I’ll work the puzzle differently next time.

I misunderstood the objective and thought I’m supposed to fill the entire article rather than just to guest the title of the article. I only realize the game’s objective after my 177th guess when the game shows me the entire article all of a sudden.

Depending on who/what the subject of the Wiki article is, I think my approach could change.

For this one, I put in a few general words at first. Then went back and took a closer look at the text of the redacted article. There were a couple of words that pointed me to possible subjects to focus on. Tried going after a particular subject but had hit a wall. I put in one more general word, and that was the key to unlocking the puzzle, even though there was only one occurrence of that word. I had it solved after just a few more guesses.

Definitely made me think.

Today’s was hard.

I solved today's Redactle (#17) in 226 guesses with an accuracy of 24.78%. Played at https://www.redactle.com/

I realized too late that it’s beneficial to also add the plural of a word that appears many times. Had I figured that out earlier I would have taken far fewer guesses today!

Redactle #17, ***, 116 guesses, 29.31% accuracy.

Omg, today’s was super hard, a subject I know absolutely nothing about, I had to cheat, and even cheating it still took me 150 words!!

I know a reasonable amount about the subject matter.

I cheated once at guess 20 and that led me to the overall topic which was a huge leap forward. Still took me a few guesses to get to the specific Wiki entry.

Got it in 29 (including one fat finger when I misspelled a word), 75.86% accuracy.

(yes, I can prove it....

)

I have a method.....okay, it's only been two days so maybe it's not a trend yet...
