Outlier

A shared 5×5 board of 25 letters goes live at noon Eastern, and players get ten guesses to form words of four or more letters. Rather than rewarding length, each word scores by how rarely others found it, with results ranked out of 1,000. Board types change from day to day, and a Live mode runs timed rounds against friends.
