Proposal: Reduced Report for Both Matching

Popular, 6-0. Enacted by JonathanDark.

In the rule “Scoring”, change

for each word in the title of that Backronym that includes all the letters of a Buzzword, text with that title word and the position of that Buzzword in the Buzzwords list

to

for each word in the title of that Backronym that includes all the letters of at least one Buzzword, text with that title word and the position of the first such Buzzword in the Buzzwords list

It’s quite possible for one word to super-match two different Buzzwords that contain similar letters, but the current rule assumes each Backronym word only triggers the information-granting clause on one buzzword, so this clarifies how the Puzzler’s supposed to handle it by using the Buzzword-list order.
