Re: Wordle
I solved today's Redactle (#67) in 30 guesses with an accuracy of 53.33%.
This one felt tough. Really it would have been even tougher if I didn't make a nice guess after taking a multi hour break to have dinner. The messed up formatting on the block in the center didn't help.

Re: Wordle
I was heading in the right direction at the start, then took a left turn at Albuquerque and wandered aimlessly (as is my way) until my penultimate guess put me on target.

I'm soooo bad at the redactle type games. Tried pedantle and was just as bad. Kind of fun as a change of pace, but wow - I'm awful.

Little words that inflate your hit % and make the articles more readable without really giving direct clues. My wife and I have been calling them newspaper words but I don't know which one of us came up with it.

Ah, OK. I was thinking you might mean something like "who what where when why" so I wasn't far off.

Right. The difference is that who and why doesn't seem very useful with Wikipedia articles.

Re: Wordle
Makes sense. Since I started playing it daily I've often thought that I should work out some sort of systematic strategy to improve my score, but I always end up winging it.

I went from 1 green to done. I would say I was pretty pleased with myself, but it was literally the only word that I could think of that fit.

I solved today's Redactle (#69) in 26 guesses with an accuracy of 76.92%. Probably one of my best tries.
I found #pedantle #27 in 82 guesses!
Two days in a row of playing these. Maybe it's going to be a summer phase for me.

I'm definitely hooked on Redactle and Pedantle, even if I'm not particularly good at them most days.
Ditto for Semantle and Cemantle.

Re: Wordle
Pedantle has received another QoL upgrade:
https://cemantle.herokuapp.com/pedantle
I found #pedantle #28 in 95 guesses!Pedantle has learned how to pluralize and conjugate: if you enter a word root, it will try to match the text with its plural or conjugated forms if it's a verb. Note that this applies to correct words only, close words in gray will always be the words you entered.

Re: Wordle
I think I'm enjoying Redactle/pedantle because I'm bad at it.
I solved today's Redactle (#70) in 186 guesses with an accuracy of 58.60%.
Then I tried pedantle and got impatient, frustrated and stopped wasting my time. Maybe I'll drift back to it later.
