I should include the URL to this specific game in the copy+pasted text đŸ€” it’s here: https://wdactle.toolforge.org/?entity=Q176770

it was a tough one, I wasn’t sure I was gonna manage it at all ^^

@LucasWerkmeister This one is breaking me
@LucasWerkmeister "language of work or name: arabic" led me to "x x of Islam" but I don't know enough about the subject to have known the answer, I ended up looking it up

@olivvybee some of the Arabic text was already unredacted for me (I guess this depends on Intl.Segmenter() differences between browsers? because that’s what tells me if it’s a “word” or not), still took me a while to figure out what kind of thing it was though (and that the Arabic was “thematically relevant” and not just a random label ^^)

the “has part: hajj” eventually led me there

@LucasWerkmeister I guess I was on hard mode then because all the arabic was redacted 
@LucasWerkmeister Out of interest how does it pick which one to serve you when you go to the plain url? I get a different one than the one we've been discussing, but it's consistent

@olivvybee random Wikidata item with ≄100 sitelinks, excluding Wikimedia internal items (such as templates which often have tons of sitelinks) and years

and the query service caches the result for 5 minutes, so that’s the time period during which it would be consistent (because the query string is always the same, so it maps to the same GET request)

@olivvybee yeah, in Firefox that starts out like this 

I was already thinking of moving some of the work into the server sideÂč for performance reasons (loading all the labels takes a while), guess this is another argument in favor of it

Âč (note: right now there’s *no* server side but I’ll definitely need something sooner or later to determine what the current daily puzzle is)

@LucasWerkmeister oh that's a nice feature.

It would be interesting with a timed mode in which your guess count didn't matter but your finish time did.

@abbe98 yeah, the “you won” message and “copy to clipboard” feature was slapped together just before the showcase (see the timestamp at https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/toolforge-repos/wdactle/-/commit/f1a15413cd2f2e6c54964a7696269b0b8a7b0088) and I just couldn’t be bothered to include the time yet :P

but Redactle (.net at least) shows # guesses, % successful guesses (“accuracy”), and time, and I think I’d include all three of those in the message and leave it up to you which of them you care about

Replace victory alert() with CdxDialog (f1a15413) · Commits · toolforge-repos / wdactle · GitLab

And add a rudimentary “copy to clipboard” feature.
