Don't feel particularly bad about getting this one late (turns out it gives you yellow guess boxes when you get the artist right but you don't know the song, that is news):

For some reason GLOBLE will not share today. Took twelve guesses; I object to, for example, the idea that China is orange if the answer turns out to be Romania. I guess it's based on the number of countries in between but I can't help thinking of it spatially and so it really screws me up the way they color the map.

Finally a fact I know, after days of floundering:

I find myself not as interested in doing this one anymore because it forces me to think about countries as a sequence instead of spatially and I don't feel like I'm learning about new countries that I have never heard of or forgot where they were on the map? Initially it was a lot of fun to test whether you have them in the right place on your mental map and whether you're forgetting some. Now it's just like... Are you aware of how many countries you'd have to pass through to get to this other country? Blah. The fact that you're getting orange while on multiple different continents is annoying.

This one is still fun - for example I did not know this one until I got to those other notes, and had no idea that's what the intro sounded like! Learning:

I still enjoy this one as much as the octortal (my favorite of all these) because it requires a different kind of thinking and I like the backward reasoning about what must work in those spaces:
nerdlegame 102 5/6






This one I like because it's frequently something I don't know. Although it troubles me that when I have known it I wasn't sure I agreed and could find sources that gave a different ranking? But that was a rare outcome. At least you're learning something new.

Aha! Interesting possibility!

25 guesses into Redactle and I got all I need to answer the puzzle (pretty much the whole first sentence) except for the name of it.

I got it in 120. Very satisfying.

78 for today's Redactle. Imagine my surprise to find I had a paragraph about Paul McCartney, Wings and the album Band on the Run in an article that was clearly not about McCartney or the Beatles.

Revelation: doing Redacted on a computer screen instead of phone!!!!!!!!! Highly recommend. I keep putting in words that don't count toward my guesses, yet I would swear they didn't appear until I tried typing them in. Anyway, this too was an easy one because of prior familiarity with the subject and quick use of a few key terms like 'largest' 'city' and the four cardinal directions.

So I came up with a new plan for the word games where I would play them in a certain order (Wordle, Waffle, Hurdle, Quordle, and Octordle) and then if I ever failed at one, then I'd stop for the day. Then this happened for the third time ever:

And just like that- I slayed the nonword games:

Happiest countries in the world (2022)

And I solved Redactle in 8 because it was the same as yesterday's that I did from home. Damn I'm good.

Haha. "A new puzzle will be available every day at 11:00 AM CDT (16:00 UTC)." Dunno why it's in the middle of the day, probably due to the work life of whoever made this.

Redactle: 280 guesses.

Whew. I really need to refine my technique instead of just randomly typing shit without caring about my number of guesses.

I solved today's Redactle (#26) in 280 guesses with an accuracy of 57.86%. Played at https://www.redactle.com/

67, but pissy about this number being so high because way back in the 40s I had guessed a different version of that word, leading to twenty more of its cousins, and it didn't occur to me to put in a different version of the word as -nia instead of just -on as the ending. I will say that the deck has been stacked in my favor on these so far.

I can see that. Also, I had the same experience, getting the word that I thought would be the title, and then laying down thirty more guesses before I got it.

Same as Phoebe. I put down the similar word, misspelled, at 36, and spelled correctly at 66. By 70 I had figured I had guessed everything around the subject I knew and did a clue-cheat by checking out this wikipedia article to see if anything jumped out at me, then ping-poinging to the correct answer at 78.

Someday again I'll do it without clues/cheating, maybe a day where I can sit and really think for a few hours. But like yesterday, which once I got to largest city in Nigeria, and my brain went blank, I knew the chances were about even that it'd come to me in about three hours or three months, I figure searching wikipedia for something surrounding that subject instead of taking the loss. Maybe for fairness, I'll cheat / get clues, but not put in the answer once I find it.

Meanwhile, just seconds ago I got an ad on Twitter for "Real Housewives of Lagos" so maybe I'd have figured it out closer to 36 hours.

Dang that Heardle was like listening to the same clue over and over. Only other clue came in the last half second -- had no idea either.

BTW- Redactle was some bullshit today. 184 guesses, but I actually guessed the title in 94 guesses- I just used the plural version.

See that's the thing! And then you waste a bunch of guesses second guessing yourself because you think your guess was wrong! I think you should just count the 94.
