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 5.56 is 50 minimum moves divided by 9 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.
