Redacted

About Redacted

Redacted gives you one document a day: a police incident report, a coroner's field note, a witness statement and so on, all from the fictional town of Caldmere, Massachusetts. Five words in it have been redacted, and your job is to put them back. Everyone gets the same case on the same date.

The game is published by LFH Labs LLC, and the iOS app is listed under Jason Sullivan. It is part of a small set of games set in the same town, alongside the detective game Daily Sleuth.

For each blank you see the number of letters and the first letter. You get six guesses per word, and letters that are not in the word are crossed off the keyboard. After two wrong guesses you can spend one of three daily tips, each revealing another letter. Cases get harder through the week, from a gentle Monday to a Saturday stamped Brutal; Sunday's cold case is for premium members.

Redacted suits readers who enjoy cloze tests, crime fiction and spotting what a sentence needs. The day's case needs no account; signing in adds the archive, the leaderboard and streaks across devices.

How to play Redacted

1. Open playredacted.app or the iOS app and read today's case file.
2. Tap a redacted blank to select it and see its length and first letter.
3. Type your guess for the missing word and submit it.
4. Use crossed-off letters and the story's context to narrow down wrong guesses.
5. Solve all five blanks within six guesses each to close the case.

Tips

• Read the whole document before guessing; later sentences often explain earlier blanks.
• Save your tips for the longest words, where one extra letter helps most.
• Expect harder vocabulary later in the week and plan for a slower Saturday.
