I gave up. But I had guessed quite early on that ?-??? was

but failed to twig that each bit, either side of the hyphen, was treated as a separate word, so it never appeared as success on my word list.

I solved today's Redactle (#311) in 8 guesses with an accuracy of 75.00%. Played at https://www.redactle.com/

In reality, that was 4 guesses with a 100% accuracy because the software did insist on generating plurals for each word, two of which scored 0 hits. They were words for which I can think of no context in which they would be pluralised.

Got the first title word on my first guess, but then cocked it up a bit.

I was very lucky really, although I'd be interested in seeing what the most common words were in Wikipedia entries. I went for what I thought were pretty safe

Very fortunate to get two in the title in the first three. The 4th word was one or the other of opposites.

You can set it to auto generate plurals or not. Your choice. Click the settings menu at the top of the page.

Well, it appear that mine is set not to pluralise/singularise words, but it still does.

#312 claims 34 guesses at 35.29% but again, half of those unwanted plurals.

In the first paragraph I noticed a "between" and thought the words on either side looked as though their lengths could be "Europe" and "Asia" and so it proved. Next but one guess was "river" but I then went through a load of them before hitting the right one. I must say that I thought the length of the blank block in the title made me think it was 5 letters.

On my iThing it pluralises with the return key, and not when I press the button.

Also, a score of 20 today. Which I was pleased with.

Ah thanks! I was indeed using the iPad.
