Welcome to Redactle!

 

Redactle is a daily browser game where the user tries to determine the subject of a random obfuscated Wikipedia article, chosen from Wikipedia's 10,000 Vital Articles (Level 4).

 

A new puzzle will be available every day at 11:00 AM CDT (16:00 UTC).

How to Play

 

• Type a word into the input box and press Enter or the Guess button.
  
• All occurrences of that word will become unredacted in the article body.
  
• To win, figure out the title or subject of the article.

Tips and Quirks

 

• Each guess must be one word only (Guessing multiple words at a time will not work).
  
• Most Punctuation is automatically revealed in the article page. Some punctuation occasionally escapes Redactle's filter and becomes redacted.
  
• Guesses are case insensitive, and letters with diacritics (é, ü, etc) are considered to not have those diacritics.
  
• Shift+Enter will attempt to automatically pluralize or singularize your guess. There are certain edge cases (e.g. guessing a nonsense word like "asdf") where this will submit nonsense guesses.
  
• You will likely encounter some formatting and punctuation quirks. These are a result of stripping away certain characters and elements present in the original Wikipedia article that don't play nicely with Redactle.
  
• Many common words are automatically revealed for your convenience. The list includes most English prepositions and articles. Guessing these words does not count toward your score.
  
• Check the Settings menu for configuration options.
