What is Pedantle?
Pedantle is a daily puzzle from the makers of Cemantle, and the English version of the French game Pédantix. Each day it hides a Wikipedia article: you see the layout of the page, but every word is blacked out.
You type words to reveal them wherever they appear in the article. Guesses that are close in meaning show up as hints in the gaps, helping you piece together the topic. The goal is to reveal every word of the title, and when you do, you can see the full page and share your result.
