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.

SLATE left the fewest candidates: its first-guess feedback left 14 of the 2,374 words in the site's working answer pool. At the other end, CRANE left 141 candidates, about 10 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.
