Redactle is like Wordle and Wikipedia combined, and I'm addicted.

It's quite difficult to find a redacted Wikipedia article using the game Redactle.

Redactle could well be the finest game I've played in weeks, even if there are now more Wordle clones than there are people in the world.

It presents a challenge to decipher a redacted Wikipedia page word by word until you learn what the topic is, which will appeal to anybody who likes going into a Wikipedia wormhole. And I'll tell you right now: it's difficult.

Even while Redactle provides you simple terms (such "of," "the," and "in") up front, you start out virtually in the dark. Additionally, it's unclear what words to first estimate since you have no clue what the topic is—you just know that it's one of Wikipedia's 10,000 "important" articles(opens in new tab).

As you play a word, a counter showing how often, if at all, it occurs in the article shows on the right side of the screen. Naturally, it is also exposed inside the page, allowing you to piece together whole phrases and get insight on what more to infer. Additionally, you may just click a word in the list to be directed to each occurrence.
