Leaderboard Rules
A leaderboard is only fun when the numbers actually mean something. The notes here explain what gets ranked, what does not, and why some ways of climbing are more repeatable than others.
Ranking model
- Best score ranks high-scoring runs.
- Best streak ranks sustained consistency.
- Daily board compares players on the same daily setup.
How to improve rank
Use a two-phase plan: secure the opening streak first, then optimize for longer words after combo builds. This is safer than forcing long words from turn one.
Fair play expectations
Leaderboards should reflect genuine play. Avoid automation or exploit behavior. Focus on repeatable skill, not one-off edge cases.
Quick answers
What is the difference between Daily and Global leaderboard?
Daily compares players on the same date setup, while Global tracks best long-term results by difficulty.
How are leaderboard positions ranked?
Chain boards rank by best score or best streak. Wordy board ranks by fastest completion time.
Why does leaderboard look empty sometimes?
An empty state means there are no qualifying submissions yet for that selected scope and metric.
Can I improve rank without risky openings?
Yes. Stable early chains and lower-error continuation usually outperform volatile starts in repeatable ranking.
