Solver difficulty, as a percentile
This score is a percentile, not an opinion. Under the site's fixed solver settings, ROWDY measured harder for the solver than about 45% of all 1,907 recorded answers to date. Its rating is middle of the pack. CRANE, SLATE and ADIEU leave a large group; it has a 3-word _OWDY family.
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.
CRANE, SLATE and ADIEU benchmark
RAISE left the fewest candidates: its first-guess feedback left 11 of the 2,374 words in the site's working answer pool. At the other end, SLATE left 229 candidates, about 21 times as many. SALET and SLATE came back all gray. None of their letters appear in ROWDY.
| Opener | First-guess feedback | Answers still possible |
|---|---|---|
| RAISE | RAISE | 11 |
| ADIEU | ADIEU | 36 |
| AUDIO | AUDIO | 43 |
| ARISE | ARISE | 65 |
| TRACE | TRACE | 66 |

“Answers still possible” counts the words in the site's 2,374-word working answer pool whose feedback would match that opener exactly. This is pattern arithmetic, not a simulation. A smaller number means the opener left fewer possible answers after the first guess. It does not describe later turns.
