An Asterisk beside your name indicates that you are playing in Hard Mode. Which means: Any revealed hints must be used in subsequent guesses.
A grey square on your
score means I didn't get your email and therefore gave you the worst score plus one. If I get your email in time, I will adjust the score accordingly.
Some people's emails are not getting through sometimes, so I will correct for that too.
Not using the starting proper word will result in a 2 stroke penalty. (new rule as of October 8, 2023)

** The difficulty of each puzzle is determined by averaging the number of guesses provided by a small panel of testers who are paid to solve each puzzle in advance to help New York Times catch any issues and inconsistencies. They add a score of 7 when testers do not complete the puzzle.
Difficulty only appears the next day with the NYT solution.
