curr3nt Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Reveal hidden contents I will be scoring correct letters in the wrong position with a 0.5. In the case of multiples of the same letter only the first letter will be scored if in the incorrect position. Due to change of rules I will only take 0.5 points for each guess. Example: Word=APPLE Guess=PLANE P= +0.5 (for the first P) L= +0.5 A= +0.5 N= +0 E= +1 Total guess score of 2.5 Guess=LLAMA L= +0.5 L= +0 (First L already scored) A= +0.5 M= +0 A= +0 Total guess score of 1 Guess=LADLE L= +0 (Fourth L is correct and is the L to be scored) A= +0.5 D= +0 L= +1 E= +1 Total guess score of 2.5 Guess=PROPS P= +0.5 (Scores against first P in APPLE) R= +0 O= +0 P= +0.5 (Scores against second P in APPLE) S= +0 Total guess score of 1 Let the fun begin!

curr3nt Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I would update scores but I can't get to page 224 to copy the last set... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nana77 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) I can do the score update when I get home. Curr, I like your new method, but why not take full credit rather than 1/2 for guesses? What do others think? I have a word, same scoring as Curr with 1/2 for right letter in wrong spot. ???????

curr3nt Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Half score due to changes. If it becomes a normal thing then I'd take full points in future cases. REDWOOD INHAULS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curr3nt Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Gah... I kind of cheated. This is actually easier for a computer to find the word. It took the first 8 guesses to find the word. Reveal hidden contents PEPPERS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nana77 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 You got it. I will do scores in a couple of hours. Do you have a word list with every word on it? I do that sometimes if I know the first letter, but for every letter that would be a very long list. Anyway, a correct guess is a correct guess.

nana77 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 but yeah, a computer would find your version easier to crack because it is getting more info per guess than the other version gives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curr3nt Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I have an excel file with word lists for each rollo game. I then have a script that uses the guesses to give me a new valid word list and tell me the most likely letter for each position. I'll then usually pick words with a couple of the most likely letter to help narrow down the list. I had modified it to use the scoring script I gave you instead of the normal scoring.
