Thanks for playing! Right now the score is calculated by letter value multiplied by word length so longer words score more points. Open to feedback on this as wasn't sure best scoring.
- modernpink 5y agoI think a mix of word length and rarity might be the way to go. Information entropy would be a helpful approach here (look up the 3Brown1Blue video on Wordle). Also, CHOCOLATIER comes up as an invalid word.
- danieltait 5y agoThanks! Will look into this. And sorry chocolatier should definitely be accepted! Great word
- mal-2 5y agoI disagree on the rarity piece, I think it will be more frustrating if you can't predict how to improve your score. Length is straightforward because you know your strategy should always be to make the fewest longest words.
- thex10 5y agoCan you have this on the screen while solving? I think this might have been mentioned at the start but it goes away once I start trying words.
