Well crap, the site is down today.
ah, good to know. I didn’t get a message, just a spinning cursor.
I was getting the security error again, it went down after that occurred the last time
98, 42%, played on the ‘Redactle unlimited’ site
I managed to figure out the bit about MOSFETs and Bell Labs and I was pretty deep in the weeds on technical things related to electronics. Finally got ‘video,’ which helped but I went through other peripherals before finding camera. Eh.
The site’s back up. I realized after a couple of guesses that I’d already solved this one on the “unlimited” site yesterday. But if you didn’t, you have about an hour before the new puzzle is posted.

I got mountain and river and went down a geography rabbit hole for a bit. Somehow I never played the word ‘country,’ which was dumb, I was multi-tasking. And I got enough hits with ‘north’ and ‘America’ and ‘Europe’ that I gave up on the east. Finally got ‘India’ and ‘China’ by guess 89 and had ‘between China and India’ and that narrowed it down.

Who is a standard starting word of mine, but I didn’t notice until about 25 that WHO gave the world health organization and other UN agencies, which made it clear it was a country. Then it was just narrowing it down. I got it pinned between China and India and I might not have gotten it a year ago, as Bhutan isn’t a big name as countries go, but in this past year I’ve seen youtube videos of planes landing there.

I got Sea in 12 guesses and just narrowed it down from there
Is that the air field where you have to clear the mountains and then descend very quickly, so the whole operation looks a little bit risky?

I got off a bit onto war, then, of course, was thinking more about land. But once I started thinking about wales, england, ireland, etc and the directions, it became clear.
I’m not sure, but I think you’re thinking of St Barts (where planes are so low coming over the hill that there is a video of the landing gear of a plane hitting a spectator on the head.) Bhutan is where the plane has to zigzag though a mountain valley, coming very close to the hills on the side in order to have a chance to line up, while the plane yells “Pull up! Pull up!”
Oh, I watched a video of a landing at Bhutan. That’s not terrible, kind of reminds me of the approach into Roanoke.

I got ‘sea’ but then started East around China and moved west. Spent quite a few guesses in the vicinity of the Mediterranean before moving to the western side of the continent.

Had to. I already guessed the 2 Italian explorers I knew off the top of my head.
Oops, I didn’t realize we flipped to a new puzzle before I un-spoilered your text, so I’m out for today.
Yeah, it’s 9am PDT each day
