Scoring Refinements
We've refined the scoring system to better reward skillful play.
After extensive testing and player feedback, we've tuned how points are awarded for letter placement versus hint usage. The goal is a fair balance that rewards accuracy with as little help as possible. Letters you enter yourself are worth more than hint-revealed letters and bonus points are awarded for unused hints, encouraging you to solve as much as possible on your own.
Scoring may continue to evolve as we gather more feedback—let us know what you think!
