Scope and calculation

Records with an unconfirmed date are excluded from monthly totals. The full archive contains 1 such record.

Each listed puzzle contributes its independently calculated minimum move count once. The average of 5.87 is 182 minimum moves divided by 31 records, rounded to two decimal places. All puzzles tied at the maximum are shown above.

These distance-based labels use the same five thresholds throughout the site. They describe the checked word graph, rather than player completion rates. Read the verification method or compare other months.
