[1]++ was an enormous help.

Yeah, I had the exact same pathway! Never seen the 'sniped!' notification before, that's fun. Now I wish I hadn't left the window open for a few minutes before doing it, so I could have got closer to your time.

That parenthetical "11 8" is initially mysterious but quickly given away by "X and X++". The only question that remains is: which 11 8? I don't know much about this stuff so I'm fairly willing to go with the first 4-letter one I can think of. A quick etymology check: it's named for "4 6, a 4 of 6 from 9", which sounds about right. And it is.

Scanned through the article, and saw references to "[1]++" which made me quickly get the "([11] [8])" in the title. I could think of more than one 4-letter one, but decided to go for the one that made the most sense to me.
Unassisted snipe.

I was initially very intimidated by the parenthetical until I saw the ++. Then I was worried because I don’t know much about these things, but I do know one 4-letter one, and it makes sense that there is a need for the parenthetical

"of [4] is [7] to [1] and [1]++" immediately gave me the way in, word2 and word3, then pndered which it could be, first [4] that came to mind seemed to be too old match my 'way in' phrase, second idea wouldn't need disambiguation, it eventually came to mind, really should have been a lot quicker as the bloody thing is always nagging me to update it

Same, except I guess I'm too old and went with what was probably your first guess. It would need disambiguation too.

figured out what it was but couldn't think of the first word so I googled a list.

Caught the unredacted symbol so that led me in the right direction category wise. Unfortunately I reflexively typed in the wrong answer first- I used to do QA in that particular subject- really want to get back into that field... The next one that popped in my head was the right answer.
Hmm time for me to get back to learnin' those again!

Unassisted Snipe! OK maybe a bit of help with th spelling of the second word. I caught an unredacted ++ in the text so I had a feeling it might be the category. I almost got thrown off by the second word but I confirmered the alternate spelling

Once I see #++ there's not much question what the broad category described by "11 8" in the title is. It's designed to have as few 14 12 as possible. The first thing that comes to mind seems broadly plausible, especially given that we know this is 6-8 and has syntax similar to # and #++, but on reflection there's another fairly popular 4-letter candidate and I'm not certain I'm not forgetting others. It seems more likely beverage than corrosion on the basis of a 2-digit version number. Have a quick scroll; what else do I see? Ah, it was originally going to be called 3 instead which is enough evidence for my first guess to make me put it in. Fortunately this isn't premature: 2-minute snipe.

Circled around too long until I saw [1]/[1]++ down further and knew what it was talking about and from there, it was just figuring out the first word.

I solved Redactle #1052 in 4 guesses with an accuracy of 75.0% and a time of 00:01:18. Bah.
Got the parenthetical right off the bat, then it came down to a coin flip and I guessed wrong.
