What is Redactle?
Redactle is a daily puzzle built on Wikipedia. Every day you get one article with every word hidden behind black bars, apart from common words like the and of. Your job is to work out what the article is about.
Each word you guess is revealed everywhere it appears in the article, including its variations. Start broad, spot patterns in the headings and keep narrowing down until you can type the title. Solving without hints counts as a snipe. Beyond the daily puzzle there are random puzzles, an easier Redactle JR, a ten article Redactle Rush and a Team Up mode to solve with friends.
