Solver difficulty, as a percentile

STARE 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, SLATE left 52 candidates, about 26 times as many.

“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.
