A hidden Wikipedia page

Pedantle, from Certitudes, the team behind Cemantle, hides a Wikipedia article. Every word you guess is revealed wherever it appears in the text, and words close in meaning to your guess also give you a hint. You win when you work out the title of the page.

Strategy that works

  • Read the shape of the first sentence. Wikipedia openings often follow the pattern X is a something, so the words around the title tell you a lot.
  • Guess linking words that pages share, like born, city, war, species or album, to find out what kind of article it is.
  • Then guess words that fit that kind of page. A city page will have population and river. A band page will have album and tour.
  • Use near misses. When a guess lights up words close in meaning, try their exact forms next.

Hints for today

If you are stuck, go back to the headings in the article. Section titles like Early life, History or Discography reveal the type of page faster than any single word, and the type of page points to the title.
