Redactle – a daily game of un-redacting Wikipedia articles

Great concept, but the obscurity of the terminology at times will make this....trying. Plus, it does not appear to validate words nor automatically fill out variants. For me, this was fun until I got past guess 200 or so.

Have been playing this for a week or two now, landing a few perfect scores, and it turns out that the guesses that will get you far are words like "defined", "known" etc., and some words you'd expect to be unredacted from the get go, like "can", "be", "they". Another thing is structure of the articles, mostly parentheses. Two-character words? Date and place of birth (and maybe death). Colon after first word? The name of another language (mostly). Try "named" and you might have another hint about the etymology. Look for subscripts (superscripts are out with the rest of TeX)

...given, there was a bad day to not know the word "injunction", so there's that.

This could definitely stand to have an easier mode. With so much of it redacted it is hard to begin to draw any context from it

Aside; I hope some day/time in the future that AI can recover, from Wikipedia article history, in some form, all the useful info that has been removed from Wikipedia by deletionists, or whatever they're called more recently, or even just through bad copyediting/merges.

Far out - after 20 minutes I'm giving up. Please add an easy mode

I really enjoyed that! I got it in 10, here's my guesses (spoilers for Friday the 3rd of June) - https://i.imgur.com/oz9lASY.png

Where are all the wordle solver engineers and their maximum likelihood estimators?

I just found ‘England’ and ‘King James II’ inside the redacted text, it’s way too hard for me. Can anyone share the solution?

That was incredibly difficult.

108 for Today's! How do I play previous days?

I got 314. That was fun.
