Report definitions and caveats

Totals cover completed, reliable, eligible games and accepted plays. Bingos use seven rack tiles. 1,534,538 recorded turns in eligible games. 7,928 corpus identities (unfiltered). Withdrawn attempts are shown separately as evidence, outside accepted-play totals.

Common bingos: equal frequencies are ordered alphabetically.

Comebacks: recorded deficits include temporary leads before a withdrawal rolls back a play.

Withdrawn attempts: A withdrawal does not prove every word was invalid; attempted words remain visible after rollback.

Challenges: an em dash means recorded points are unavailable; related-play and challenger evidence may be unknown.

Special plays: accepted reliable plays may use blanks, activate at least two triple-word squares, or form Q-without-U words. Categories can overlap; counts are not a partition.

Sample and pages: totals cover the full filtered sample. Lists show this page; some lists can be exhausted while others continue. Corpus coverage is unfiltered.
