I think a mix of word length and rarity might be the way to go. Information entropy would be a helpful approach here (look up the 3Brown1Blue video on Wordle).

Also, CHOCOLATIER comes up as an invalid word.

I disagree on the rarity piece, I think it will be more frustrating if you can't predict how to improve your score. Length is straightforward because you know your strategy should always be to make the fewest longest words.

Thanks! Will look into this. And sorry chocolatier should definitely be accepted! Great word
