Have you played today's Redactle? Redactle, a spinoff in which you guess the words in a redacted Wikipedia page, is one of the most recent hits to emerge from the Wordle-induced Cambrian explosion of indie guessing games. The "-dle" games just keep coming. At this point, someone could fit them all into some complex taxonomy, tracing the relationship between the world's Heardles and Worldles and Nerdles and Squabbles.

Redactle Unlimited is difficult, just like Semantle. Attempt it at your own peril.

You'll see a Wikipedia article with so many redactions it looks like the Mueller Report, and you'll have to guess words, any words. The article will get simpler to understand as you increasingly identify previously censored words. You win if you correctly guess the article's title. The 10,000 Important Articles on Wikipedia provide the correct answer for each day (Level 4). That means that possible entries include Greco-Roman wrestling, Algebraic topology, and Ralph Waldo Emerson but not, instance, List of classical music concerts with a riotous audience response or Bread dildo (yes, this is a genuine article). Thursday's right response was House of Medici.

According to last week's statistics, respondents had to make a lot of guesses before finding the perfect answer. The global median is currently 129, and the global average is 166. The game was created by John Turner and launched on April 6th.

WORDLE PEAK? — Google searches for "Wordle" have declined by around 25% from their high in late February, but the mania is still going strong. And weekend programmers with guessing game ideas are still extracting the last drops of juice from Wordle's pulpy remains. But hey, there are worse things than internet puzzles.

Test it right away. I hope you enjoy yourselves! Don't be too harsh, and please remember to always.
