About the project

Add an anonymous result and difficulty rating to the public, aggregate research dataset.

We send only this answer word for puzzle verification, the puzzle number, result, difficulty vote, Hard Mode flag, timezone and a random one-puzzle receipt token. The Observatory stores no answer word, grid, guesses, account, email, IP-derived ID or reusable player identifier. The puzzle-specific receipt prevents duplicate submissions and permits withdrawal; anyone with that token can withdraw, so keep browser-data exports private. See the privacy details.

How RAISE performs as a guess

RAISE is a possible answer, so it would solve about one game in 2,360 when every answer is treated as equally likely.

First-turn measures

All four describe RAISE used as an opening guess. Entropy is the same idea as “avg ruled out” on a log scale: a higher number means the guess splits the possible answers into more, smaller groups.

5.88 Entropy (bits)
62 Avg remaining
0.04% Exact match
97.4% Avg ruled out
In the top 1% for first-turn entropy
Within 0.1 bits of the highest measured first-turn entropy (~5.95 bits)
