       | Well, that's going in my Wordles bookmark folder.

       | I'm curious whether this one will have staying power. The Wordles
       | I've given up on have generally been either too easy after
       | developing a decent strategy (e.g. Nerdle), or questionable in
       | some fashion (e.g. Crosswordle often includes at least one word
       | that you won't find in a normal dictionary). "Questionable" for
       | Redactle might look like overly technical articles where no
       | amount of un-redacting will get you to the answer. "Easy" would
       | be the opposite. I think it comes down to curation; the best
       | Wordles have puzzles selected much like the word list of the
       | original Wordle.

         | I never got in to Wordle because it was too easy. I've been
         | playing Semantle but it's been kicking my butt with some of the
         | answers I've had to give. This was fun, if a bit easy. At least
         | it didn't leave me banging my head trying to find a word like
         | Semantle does (can always just search sentence structure and
         | figure out a word).

       | I got a little frustrated having to try several variations of the
       | same root word. Spoilers below.
       | 
       | E.g. I tried Europe at 17, but I did not try European until 75.
       | Likewise I tried language at 37, but it took until 85 to get
       | languages.
