I fucking HATE doing these on my phone. This time OVER half of my guesses were pluralizations of words I typed. Like “over” also brings up “overs”! What kind of shit is that?!? Anyway…

You can turn the pluralizing off you know :-p
I just hate the mobile lay-out; even on my phone I force the desktop site just to properly see what's going on.

I went on a bunch of unhelpful tangents before I hit upon the keyword that unlocked it all.

I got fairly lucky finding the second word quickly. That led directly to the third, and then of course it was a matter of figuring out which one. Word length helped a lot...and it being one of the best known ones, too.

I think I got kinda lucky. One of my first words is always state since it can be geographical or scientific so it has many meanings.

James Bond movies have a lot of prepositions in them. If I'd read the starting text completely and thoroughly, I probably would have shot my shot as well.

I mistakenly thought "behind-the-______" was behind-the-scenes (actually it was behind-the-lines), and that got me thinking about movies. From there I found "From _____, With ______" which is in italics, indicating it is the title of something. From Russia, With Love fits, so I checked the article title for length and that fit James Bond, so two guesses later I have my best Redactle yet.

Knowing @figmentPez had found a way to solve it in two helped quite a bit.

The clue was "The ███ from █.█.█.█.█." which got me thinking about spy fiction

This one was pretty easy, to me. It's a well known, big organization, and the title "save the xxxxxx" caused me to guess whales before Arctic, but was still a giveaway.

The best part about that is that all three of us saw the same thing, guessed the same thing, and it was wrong! Yet it still led all of us to the correct answer because even though it was wrong it was close enough that it gave us the answer.

This was another one where I kept getting words with just single-digit hits that didn't really help me.

Also, "American" is usually one of the first words I guess. The one time I don't guess "American".

(#244) in 75 guesses and 78.67% accuracy for me today.
I got hung up on the four-letter word in the title, and ended up googling the name of a related title I fully revealed in the body of the article. I could have spent another hour and not figured it out. I'm familiar with the subject of the article, but for whatever reason my brain says it's not something that comes to mind easily.
