Change the contents of the subrule “Buzzwords” to the following:
Buzzwords is a list of English words that are privately tracked by the Puzzler and defaults to an empty list. A word on the Buzzwords list is known as a Buzzword. If there are fewer than ten Buzzwords, the Puzzler should secretly randomly select a word from the [[EFF Wordlist]] which is not in The Word Bank and add it to the Buzzwords.
This does two things: Double the number of buzzwords because there is simply a huge amount of words on the EFF list, and ensure that there’s never an “unfindable” buzzword since the Word Bank seems to be settling into a state where it doesn’t get refreshed.
A good point on the possibility of unfindables, but I’d rather see the dial turned towards gameplay of working out what the Buzzwords are, than making them easier to hit by chance and harder to refine guesses on. Maybe there should only be one Buzzword.
Clucky: he/him
