Solver difficulty, as a percentile
This score is a percentile, not an opinion. Under the site's fixed solver settings, IDIOM measured harder for the solver than about 65% of all 1,907 recorded answers to date. Its rating is tricky. It repeats I; CRANE, SLATE and ADIEU leave a large group.
Solver pressure ranks the answer within the pool; it does not measure player performance. The opener table compares first-guess results, and the contributed ratings report player results.

ADIEU left the fewest candidates: its first-guess feedback left 2 of the 2,374 words in the site's working answer pool. At the other end, CRANE left 273 candidates, about 136 times as many. SALET, SLATE, STARE, TARSE, TRACE and CRANE came back all gray. None of their letters appear in IDIOM.
