Players & stats

The Players page is the people in your tracker, with a leaderboard underneath. Open it from the sidebar.

Add a player

Tap + Add player at the top right. A small inline form opens; type a display name and hit Enter (or tap Add). The new player shows immediately as a zero-record card and is available in the New session roster from then on.

Names are case-insensitive unique. Trying to add “Mom” when Mom already exists shows a friendly error.

How the leaderboard ranks

The list orders by wins descending, then alphabetically. Players who haven’t completed a game yet appear at the bottom with a ”·” instead of a rank number and the line “No completed games yet”.

What each metric means

A player card shows:

• Rank (left) — Position in the win-count order. ”·” if they haven’t completed a game.
• NW · NG (right) — wins and games_played. A 4W·12G means four wins out of twelve completed games.
• Win rate — wins / games_played as a percentage.
• avg — Average final score across completed games. A rough sense of how high they typically score; not normalised for opponent count.
• best game — Highest final score they’ve achieved in a single game.
• Best word — The highest-scoring word they’ve ever played, followed by the points. The font is monospace so the word reads as what was put down on the board.
• vs Opponent N–N — Head-to-head record against each player they’ve played. Only opponents with at least one shared game show.

What counts as a completed game

A game has to be finalised (via End game) to count toward win totals and best-game stats. Live, mid-play games show up in the sidebar’s live-count badge but don’t move the leaderboard. Best words are tracked per-play and can come from any game, including ones still in progress.

What’s not here yet

The current Players page is add-only. Renaming a player and removing one are planned for a future Settings page. Until then, the workaround is to add the new name and stop using the old one going forward.

Cross-club profiles — a tournament player whose record follows them between clubs — are something we’re researching. Not built today.
