Points
Earn points each time you complete a puzzle. The number of points varies depending on several factors.
Point Calculation#
Points are calculated based on difficulty mode, hints taken, time, and letter variety. The selected difficulty mode has the most significant impact. Here's a table of base points for each difficulty mode:
| Difficulty Mode | Base Points |
|---|---|
| Easy | 48 |
| Normal | 105 |
| Hard | 246 |
| Legendary | 512 |
The number of hints taken is the second most significant factor. Your points will reduce by numberOfHintsTaken% for each hint. To maximize your score, try to use as few hints as possible!
Elapsed time and letter variety have a minimal impact, changing the score by +-5%.
Multipliers#
Multipliers can increase your score. They may be enabled for special occasions or game modes. For example, enabling guru mode activates a 2.5x multiplier, and a 1.5x multiplier is enabled during the first few days of a new year. Multiple multipliers may be active simultaneously, in which case the final multiplier is the product of all active multipliers. A multiplier may also be active for a specific author or theme.
