I actually find this aspect of the game frustrating. Frustrating enough that I'm not sure if I'll bother keeping this game in my regular schedule. It shouldn't matter when I do it, the same answer should be the same score.
I dunno how you would score it in that way, because the current scoring system is pretty elegant in conception. Maybe using Ngrams or something?
Couldn't you just measure against the general occurence of a word in online texts? Whether a word is rare or not shouldn't be dependent on people's answers, should it?
Yeah that's basically what Ngrams are.
Basically: how popular was it to use this word or phrase in all recorded text available to the search engine (including scanned old books), charted over time.
Thanks for the explanation. Yeah then I vote +1 for Ngrams. :D
