Wonderhop Game Scoring: Points, Dates and Help

What determines a prompt's points

Sky and Abyss use prepared editorial ranks, with a smaller rank representing a more familiar answer. The question bank’s minimum and maximum ranks are mapped linearly to 0–100 points: Sky favors the minimum rank and Abyss the maximum. These are designed values, not measured player percentages.

Past and Future compare the stored dates within the current question's bank. The minimum and maximum dates define a linear 0–100 scale: older is better in Past, newer in Future, and equal dates earn equal points.

For a stored value v, a minimum L and maximum H, Sky and Past use 100 × (H − v) ÷ (H − L); Abyss and Future use 100 × (v − L) ÷ (H − L). The result is rounded to the nearest whole point. If every stored value is equal, recognized answers earn 100; tied values always earn equal points.

The local rating thresholds

This edition labels a score of 100 Perfect, 80–99 Excellent, 60–79 Great, 30–59 OK and 0–29 Weak. These labels describe the local points; they are not original-game crowd percentile thresholds.

Read the outcome beside the rating. A skipped or timed-out prompt remains a skip or timeout even though it earns zero, and an assisted answer keeps its help label.

Help, skips and timeouts stay visible

A hint does not secretly reduce or inflate the normal point rule. It marks the answer and shared result as assisted so another player can understand the conditions of the run.

A skip and a timeout each score zero, but they are recorded separately. An unrecognized attempt is not a successful answer; you can edit or retry while time remains. A replay label also matters because seeing the question before changes the challenge.

Worked example: a complete mode

An illustrative sheet of 100, 80, 60, 0, 75, 90 and 50 totals 455 out of 700, averaging 65 across seven prompts. The example demonstrates addition, not a mapping from those numbers to the original game's named ratings.

If only three prompts have scores, the total is partial. Their average describes the entered prompts, not a finished seven-question performance. The manual worksheet keeps missing entries separate from a genuine zero.

Local game results and manual tools

Game progress and results can be stored in this browser when storage is available. The separate score notebook accepts scores you type manually; it cannot verify that they were earned, change a game result or post to an original leaderboard.

A useful comparison keeps the edition, date, mode, version and assistance conditions the same. Shared text omits answers and retains help or replay labels. Raw totals from different games are not equivalent measures.

Original Wonderhop ratings are a separate system

The publisher lists Perfect, Excellent, Great, OK and Weak. Its current rules reserve Perfect for the top Sky answer, the rarest end of Abyss and the oldest or newest 3% in the time modes.

Those original thresholds do not turn a local point value into a crowd percentile. The original starts with estimated shares that evolve with play; this independent edition has no such live survey.
