Solver difficulty, as a percentile
This score is a percentile, not an opinion. Under the site's fixed solver settings, DUSTY measured harder for the solver than about 47% of all 1,907 recorded answers to date. Its rating is middle of the pack. CRANE, SLATE and ADIEU leave a large group; it sits in a 5-word _USTY 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
SLATE left the fewest candidates: its first-guess feedback left 5 of the 2,374 words in the site's working answer pool. At the other end, CRANE left 273 candidates, about 55 times as many. CRANE came back all gray. None of its letters appear in DUSTY.
