Solver difficulty, as a percentile
This score is a percentile, not an opinion. Under the site's fixed solver settings, AGING measured harder for the solver than about 19% of all 1,907 recorded answers to date. Its rating is easier for the solver. It repeats G; CRANE, SLATE and ADIEU leave about 56.7 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.

ARISE left the fewest candidates: its first-guess feedback left 9 of the 2,374 words in the site's working answer pool. At the other end, SLATE left 140 candidates, about 16 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.
