The thing I need in order to get reliable 3-guess wins is a cup of goddamn coffee before I start trying.
STERN
SPRAY - OK so it's very likely to be S___R and it can only contain I/O/U as vowels. SR___, with only IOU and the remaining consonants, is rare indeed. Let's lock in the R and check vowels...
SCOUR - hell yes.
I solved today's Redactle (#42) in 4537 probably less than that, >16 guesses with an accuracy of 46.67%. Played at https://www.redactle.com/
God damn it redactle
also went down the sports hole for the first ten.
But then saw "after World War II" and got World out of that at 10.
Fumbled around trying to guess names of political organisations, as they're the only names with "World" that aren't Sports or charity and yeah, organisation was guessed early at 16, with Trade at 37.
Eventually started guessing the acronym and got WTO, and realised I needed organization instead.
I had started "cheating" too, by googling "organisation synonym"
I solved today's Redactle (#42) in 119 guesses with an accuracy of 49.58%. Played at https://www.redactle.com/
I've been 300+ guesses almost every time, but today....
I solved today's Redactle (#42) in 12 guesses with an accuracy of 50.00%. Played at https://www.redactle.com/
World is one of my first handful of words to try to get context for what is being talked about. Organization was the very next guess because....yeah. I tried health first. Then trade. What the eff.
BURNT - okay, the NYT staff aren't Seth Meyers fans, noted.

I'm satisfied with that.
Could have done it sooner, but it was clear it was about a person and with some basic tries, I had nationality and profession and rough time period. Spend a bit too much time on wrong names rather than narrowing down some things that would have made things quicker
I solved today's Redactle (#43) in 80 guesses with an accuracy of 75.00%. Played at https://www.redactle.com/
Knew it was a person before I guessed anything. Literally my first guess was "He".
Unfortunately “author” was not in the opening paragraph, and only appeared 9 times in the whole article, and I spent an eternity trying well known political, sports, military, and other historical figures that would have had books written about them rather than by them.

I feel like I should have been able to get it 10-15 guesses sooner, but got sidetracked for a little bit.
