Tally: A guess-the-word game with a numerical twist. In Tally, each letter is worth a number of letter-points equivalent to that letter's position in the alphabet. (A=1, Z=26, etc.) For example, the word TALLY — T (20) + A (1) + L (12) + L (12) + Y (25) — equals 70 letter-points. With just the word length and letter-point sum total, can you guess the secret word?
Score points by beating today's par (expected) solve time.
Each word has a "par time" and "par guesses" based on its uniqueness difficulty. The par time is calculated based on how many other words share the same letter tally:
Your final score combines both time performance and guess efficiency:
Final Score Range: 0+ points (time score capped at 300, but guess bonuses can exceed 300)
Example: A word with 63 possible solutions has par time 189s and par guesses ~7. If you solve it in 120 seconds (Eagle tier) with 4 guesses, you get: 50 + (69×2) = 188 time score + (3 saved guesses × 5) = +15 guess bonus = 203 total!
Each letter is worth a number equivalent to that letter's position in the alphabet: A=1, B=2, Z=26, etc.
Can you guess the secret word, given only the word's length and tally (sum total of all letter-points)?
