Automatic word difficulty algorithm

The difficulty rating of the word should be influenced by how long it took to solve it and how many guesses it took (averaged over many instances).
Then the more difficult words appear at higher tables. This way the difficulty rating of the words will adjust automatically based on the skills of the players without having to manually enter a difficulty rating for each word. |

at 9:23 AM, Thursday April 10, 2008 EDT It should be more than 5 times...because the first time you see a new word, you might not be able to sketch it and players won't be able to guess it. But next time, you'll have some idea of how it might be done. So you could improve. It would give the game a wider range of difficulty.
