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.

RAISE left the fewest candidates: its first-guess feedback left 34 of the 2,384 words in the site's working answer pool. At the other end, SLATE left 141 candidates, about 4 times as many.

“Answers still possible” counts the words in the site's 2,384-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.
