A word was worth its length and the length of the chain it extended. Two more terms: the share of the turn the player left on the clock, and how few words the corpus offers for the syllable they answered. The chain term now stops counting at 15 words. Uncapped it grew without bound, so a total grew with the square of how long a player survived, which drowned everything the move itself earned and pinned every late word to the per-word ceiling. Rarity is a ladder of 3 points per doubling of the answers available rather than a straight line. Option counts are heavy tailed — the syllable a player is handed has a median of 14 answers and a maximum of 195 — so a line spends the bonus across the middle, where a straight count of options is not what a player feels as rare.
