Solver difficulty, as a percentile
This score is a percentile, not an opinion. Under the site's fixed solver settings, DAISY measured harder for the solver than about 49% of all 1,906 recorded answers to date. Its rating is middle of the pack. The example solver route takes four turns; CRANE, SLATE and ADIEU leave about 54 possible answers.
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
ARISE 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, CRANE left 141 candidates, about 70 times as many.
| Opener | First-guess feedback | Answers still possible |
|---|---|---|
| ARISE | ARISE | 2 |
| RAISE | RAISE | 2 |
| ADIEU | ADIEU | 4 |
| AUDIO | AUDIO | 6 |

“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.
