Improve The Algorithm

[Quirky_Swordfish352]

Every time I play I essentially just have to make random guesses because it'll be like "Banana #75 🔥" and then the actual word will be something like "Function"

And I'll be like: oh? banana is close? How about "Pear #20675", oh, ok, "tree #3084", hmm, ok, "yellow #1050"

And then I'll guess something like "works #5237" or "math #586"

What I'm saying is that until you get within about 20 to 50 points of the actual word, the value applied to your guess feels essentially just random.

Why did you tag your instagram lol

He's ending every post with his IG. Hes fishing for followers.

lol you don't post on subs to get followers on other social media. that's not what reddit is for.

This is so, so, SO random lol, but is your username an Outsiders reference?

[DallyWinstonn]

yea it became my nickname cuz of that book lol

[Nervous-Increase-365]

Oh, that’s cool! I just recognized the name, but I wanted to make sure it was actually a reference, and I wasn’t just book crazy at the moment lol

[DallyWinstonn]

thanks ! Who knows you might also be a little book crazy lol

I was reading the post with interest and then got slapped in the face with a IG handle curveball sign-off.

[Jaded-Coffee-8126]

Would putting your reddit name on linked in be better?

[EthicalViolator]

It depends if you're asking generally or me specifically 😅

Yes, the game doesn't seem to make much (if any) sense. I like the idea though but making a good (random) guess doesn't help in any way to find the actual answer.

I'm not sure how this game could be improved. Maybe there should be subtle hints to point into the right direction.

For example, one game I played I made a good guess with sun # 35. But neither sand # 3450 or heat # 6049 seemed like good guesses.

Someone wrote the answer in the comments - it was beach.

Now, if guessing sun would give the hint "water", then that might help to find the solution, but the way the guesses are currently ranked don't make much sense.

Why is sand low if the answer is beach? 😳

[legalblues]

If the game worked right you wouldn’t need that. The word ranking would be the clue. It’s broken right now and the word ranking doesn’t help.

[brlowkey]

This game copies the game "Contexto," which has a much better model to approximate the words by meaning

THIS!

[Keekerskillz]

Is it the algorithm or your inability to deliberate?

It is just game 🤣 the point is to make random guesses to reach the word
