The Best _____ You'll _____ This Week

I've previously recommended online daily puzzle games Align and Raddle. Here's another one that started not too long ago, for more trivia-minded folks: Revealed.

Revealed is from Encyclopedia Britannica, and it's pretty ingenious: It pulls articles from the Britannica site, but removes most of the nouns, verbs, and other details that make the answer obvious, replacing them with blank lines. You then decide which bits you want to reveal to solve the puzzle, one tidbit at a time. After revealing a certain number of clues, you can ask for hints about the answer itself – letter by letter.

I personally know a lot about many topics, so I find this one on the easier side . . . so easy, in fact, that I've probably solved about half the puzzles so far with no clues at all. The category is a big hint; if you encountered a puzzle with a category of Card Games, and it was about how for nearly ___________ ______, since September ____, it's encouraged players to _________ their _______, _____ their _____, and be the _____ to reach _____ __, the odds are good you'd know what it was about . . .

Anyway, check out Revealed and have fun filling in the blanks.
