Redacted.
Daily Literary Mystery | Guess the Classic Novel
Every day, a new passage from a classic novel appears with key words redacted. You have 5 guesses to identify the book. Each wrong guess reveals more text and gives you attribute clues: author, country, year, genre. All 100+ books are public domain classics including Austen, Dickens, Tolstoy, Homer, Mary Shelley. No subscription, no ads, no account needed. Perfect for book lovers who want their daily puzzle to celebrate great literature.
Hey Product Hunt!
I'm excited to share Redacted., a new daily literary detective guessing game, with you today.
As a book lover who got tired of daily word games that felt disconnected from actual literature, I wanted something that celebrated the classics instead of just testing vocabulary.
What makes it different:
Every book (so far!) is public domain (Austen, Dickens, Tolstoy, Homer, Mary Shelley)
No paywalls, no ads, no account required
New puzzle every day at midnight EST
Six attribute clues help you narrow it down (author, country, year, gender, genre)
Your stats and streaks save automatically in your browser
What's next: I'm planning to expand the library to 250+ books and add a browsable catalog page where you can see the full collection.
My workplace book club has been testing it for the past two weeks and the feedback has been great. I'd love to hear what you think!
Try today's puzzle and let me know how many guesses it takes you: https://playredacted.com
Happy to answer any questions!
