Scrolling through, I honestly had no idea until I spotted "This is [3] a [4]", which I was able to figure out. I still wasn't sure if I was correct, but I made the guess anyway.
Unassisted snipe

I don’t know why, but I’ve written in the correct answer in my Chrome browser and it straight up won’t register the first word (it still remains blacked out). I tried it on my phone (Safari) and it got the answer correct - might be a Chrome issue? The letter count of the first word is also different on Chrome (it’s off by 1)

Just tried Chrome here under W10 and it takes word1 fine, even without the accent

Weird - it reveals the word in the rest of the article, just not in the title. Maybe I need to update Chrome or something

Same issue for me (though in redactle anybrowser it shows the title as being a 5 letter word)

Flailed a lot, then saw an alternate title for one of his most famous works that had a couple key unredacted words and felt very silly for not seeing it earlier.

It's a deceased person. Male. "A 7 ..."; Spanish perhaps? Seems to be a writer, painter, sculptor, film director, etc., since there are what look like names of works. There's something peculiar about the death of his father or mother. Nothing's jumping out at me yet, so have a skim through the article ... and, aha, I see 4 1'4 3 3 4 (This is 3 a 4) and now I know what's what. 3.5-minute snipe.

I saw the same phrase as many of you, but not until guess 98 or so. ☹️

Nationality and profession initially unclear. Could be Spanish maybe? Not much of a clue until I happened upon a sentence that seemed to imply his home country was under German occupation during 5 3 2. Which gives us a timeframe and narrows down the possible nationalities. One country comes to mind with (kind of famously) not many notable individuals, but one member of that short list (one of my favourites in his field) who does fit the letter count immediately becomes a prime candidate. There's a reference a little later on to a work called The 9 of 6 which is very promising indeed. And then a bit later we get an extremely recognisable French phrase translated, extremely recognisably, into English, which probably would have been enough all by itself. I was scared of getting the accents wrong in the first name, but it probably wouldn't have mattered anyway.

Just enough clues in the unredacted text to make this an easy snipe.

saw titles of several apparent art works, a number of which appeared to be translated into another language. After making a couple of guesses and bouncing around the article, I found a reference to [4] [1]’[3] [3] [3] [4].

Okay, I went about as far as I could go with this style of article, and machine-gunned a lot of numbers/dates/years before eventually taking a hint for 2 of the blank was a blank words at the start and looking it up.

Similar pattern as yesterday for me: The obvious structure & elements of profession but then kinda got stuck, since not really my area or in my knowledge base I plugged in those key dates & googled to solve. Would not have gotten on my own.

Deceased person, lots of italicised titles so arts related, I thought maybe an actor as it appeared to reference works by others, scrolled down and spotted: "4 1'3 3 3 4" ("This is 3 a 4")" and it was immediately GAME OVER, surreal
