Project Overview
The NYT Spelling Bee is a little daily puzzle that I thought had a pretty interesting generalization.
Although I started this project looking for fast methods to solve any given Spelling Bee, it ended up becoming a longer analysis of the words a human curator would consider "obscure" as well.
I began by formalizing the problem and measuring naive solving methods, before going back to analyze the data.
The PDF here is all the information I found, and is quite lengthy.
