| To go further, your modifier from stats only increases on

| a stat to be. 8,10,12,14,16,18 for example covers the
| expected range that every L1 player character is likely to
| fall in. That also let's you estimate the CR of a monster by
| seeing if the stats tend toward a negative modifier or a
| positive one.
|
| To go further, stats have interconnections between them. The
| physical stats (STR DEX CON) are likely to sit within a few
| points of each other, same goes for mental stats (INT WIS
| CHA). The physical section is also likely to be higher
| because most of the creatures on this list were designed for
| combat and will have stats reflecting that. The exception is
| WIS, which is used to determine initiative order in combat
| and is usually high regardless of creature level.

| It does feel a lil bit like the "second coming" of Flappy Bird.
| Makes me wonder what a Flappy Wordle would look like :-p

| I mean yeah, Wordle is basically just Mastermind too, but with

| always very closely inspired by older, less popular
| games/media. Nothing wrong with that.

| In this game and others in the Wordle family, for each square

| total number of greens and the total number of yellows per
| line, not exactly which squares they came from.

| Depends on which version of mastermind.

| In the one I had as a kid, you'd get which guesses were
| correct etc, just like here.

| labster wrote:
| Indeed. For today's, it was useful to know that for critters
| usually don't dump Wis in the same way as other mental stats,
| because it represents environmental awareness. You recognize
| the build type (e.g. animal, caster, monstrous race) and try
| to fill in from there.

| Monster list should show stats.
|
| Also the screen unexpectedly zooms if I tap the same number a few
| times.

| All I could think the entire time reading it was that the web was

| almost immediately.
|
| So thanks to whoever created this for keeping the web unique,
| interesting, and aligned with its original principles.

| Funny, when the Wordle word was KNOLL, I guessed GNOLL first.
| Would have been a good for this.
