Information (Skim through if you haven't)
How to Play
A lot of you have probably viewed the Week 1 thread, but just as a refresher and to make some changes, here it is again.
From Week 2 forth, 15 words will be provided with their respective audios, each containing an example sentence. The audio will be read by either a General American Male TTS, or a British Female TTS.
Players then guess how each word is spelled and submit them in a Google Form. A few extra instructions are included there as well. If you guess incorrectly, I then manually check your guess and calculate your guess accuracy syllable-by-syllable. More information on that in §Scoring.
Regarding alternative spellings: If an alternative spelling is not due to the differences in NaME and BrE and is used way less frequently than the conventional, it will be considered erroneous. Take this in mind when dealing with possible alternative spellings.
After every fortnight (literally, 14 nights) has passed, the form will close at around Friday 4PM GMT, and the scores will be tallied up in a spreadsheet, where the winners are determined.
A new round starts at around Saturday 4AM GMT.
Please don’t discuss your answers with people who haven’t guessed, or in public. Don’t post your answers here either. Please don’t deliberately try to cheat, in ways such as Googling, speech to text, etc. It makes it unfair for other people, and highly against the spirit of the challenge, or anything in that matter.
Prizes
The top users of each round will receive some amount of tokens.
1st - 1 token.
2nd - 2/3 tokens.
3rd - 1/3 tokens.
4th - 1/4 tokens.
5th - 1/6 tokens.
6th - 1/12 tokens.
7th&8th - 1/24 tokens.
9th&10th - 1/36 tokens.
>10th - 1/216 tokens.
Tokens can be redeemed for supporter tags,or a bunch of other random useless stuff. You can also gift other people tokens by DMing or posting below. Listed below. Post what else you’d like to see!
Supporter tag - 1 token per USD.
Scoring
Each word has a point value ranging from 5 to 10, calculated with this formula:
If you guess correctly, you get that amount of points. Simple. But if you don’t, then no worries, because you can still get some points for guessing as accurately as possible. The maximum value for incorrect guesses is calculated as follows:
How many points you get is determined separately.
Accuracy calculation can be best explained with an example.
Word #10 of week #1’s event was ebullience.
If you guess something like “eboliance”, you won’t just get a flat 0 any more. Instead, you’ll get an accuracy score.
Comparing your guess and the answer per syllable, we get:
Syllable 1: e | e - Correct.
Syllable 2: bul | bo - 1/3 correct.
Syllable 3: lience | liance - 5/6 correct.
2 letters are incorrect, and 1 letter is missing.
In the end, your accuracy will be 5.5/10, or 0.55. All the extra syllables will be omitted, but please keep your guesses within reasonable length. In addition, extra, missing, or incorrect letters in a syllable count as -0.5 correct letters.
