Living milestone report
A data-led record of the completed daily puzzles on the way to a remarkable round number. The report stops before the earliest “today” anywhere in the world, so it never uses a current or future answer.
The archive keeps changing
The completed record contains 1,858 dated appearances but 1,840 distinct words. The difference comes from 18 repeat appearances.
That distinction matters in research: an answer pool describes what could appear, while the dated archive describes what has appeared.
Difficulty has several causes
578 completed puzzles contain at least one repeated letter. 722 sit in a one-letter family of three or more possible answers.
The pressure metric combines those features with opener branches and an example solver route. It is a reproducible solver comparison, not a claim about the global player average.

Completed record by calendar year
Reproducible, not mystical
Every metric is recalculated from the site's completed-answer record and the same derived difficulty rows used by the public explorer. It changes as newly completed puzzles enter the safe historical window.
