shady puzzle

shady12almost 8 years ago

Hi I also have a puzzle game for you friends. It is a word game like cooperation's except it's not cooperation's thread it's my thread.

You must guess a meaningful word. When I say that, I mean it must be either a name or a real word. Notable acronyms are also fine. It can't be a random string of letters. I am the sole judge of what deems a guess to be acceptable.

Each word you guess I will return to you a number. Whoever guesses the methodology behind assigning numbers to words first wins and gets three wishes. Good luck.

Since week 1 has passed with no solution, I will post a hint today - in the form of word scores of words that you aren't allowed to guess.

Would you guys rather know the score of each letter from a-z or the score of each number from 0-9?

there is a quantifiable maximum possible score for a word, and a word can score negative points. The maximum absolute score isn't necessarily constant over time though.

maximum so far.

There have been 228 valid words guessed by 20 different accounts. The average word score is 205.28. The minimum word score is 0 by 38 different words. The maximum word score is 2488 by "the". The median word score is 23. Elfen has guessed the most words with 47.

EDIT: And zero people have figured it out :)
when you say maximum, do you mean the maximum possible score? or do you mean the maximum so far?

my guess was closest, no?
all guesses are equally wrong on the 0-1 scale of being wrong or right.
