Proposal: Thrill of the Hunt
If https://wiki.blognomic.com/index.php?title=EFF_Wordlist fails to pass, this proposal does nothing
Add a subrule to “Buzzwords” called “Queries” with the following text
The distance between two words on the EFF Wordlist is equal to the absolute value of the difference of the numbers next to those words on the word list.
As a weekly action, a Wordsmith may privately send the Puzzler a message consisting of “Query: ” followed by a single word from the EFF Wordlist
The puzzler should then calculate the distance from that word to each word in Buzzwords, take the minimum of those value and then do the following:
- If that value is 0, reply with “EXACT”
- If that value is between 1 and 10 inclusive, reply with “CLOSE”
- If that value is between 11 and 100 inclusive, reply with “NEAR”
- If that value is between 101 and 1000 inclusive, reply with “SOMEWHAT”
- Otherwise reply with “FAR”
JonathanDark: Puzzler he/him
I think you messed up the beginning of that. “If the URL of the EFF Wordlist failed to pass” doesn’t mean anything.
