You can view the entries for this game in the dataset in indeces 1,072-1,087, or where Game ID is equal to 68. The columns and their properties in the dataset include:
|
23 |
+
- **Game ID**: The ID of the day's game, as listed by the NYTimes. For the game above, the Game ID is 68.
|
24 |
+
- **Puzzle Date**: The date of the puzzle, as listed in YYYY-MM-DD. For the game above, the Puzzle Date is 2023-08-18.
|
25 |
+
- **Word**: Each word from each day's game is listed as a row. Every word is added from the game's starting board, left to right, top to bottom. For example, in the game above, you can find the word 'PINT' in index 1,072, 'REAL' in index 1,073, 'SPONGE' in index 1,076, etc.
|
26 |
+
- **Group Name**: The theme that connects a word to others in a group. In the game above, the answers are: "Cup, Gallon, Pint, Quart" in yellow (easiest) for "Units of Volume"; "Awful, Quite, Super, Very" in green (moderately easy) for "Extremely"; "Rand, Real, Sterling, Won" in blue (moderately hard) for "World Currencies; and "Carrot, Coffee, Pound, Sponge" in purple (hardest) for "\_\_\_ Cake". So the group names for this game would be 'UNITS OF VOLUME', 'EXTREMELY', 'WORLD CURRENCIES', and '\_\_\_ CAKE'.
|
27 |
+
- **Group Level**: The difficulty of the group, indicated by an integer (0 being easiest, 3 being the hardest). As an example, in the game above, "World Currencies" is grouped in blue (second hardest, third easiest), meaning its group level would be 2.
|
28 |
+
- **Starting Row**: The starting row position for a given word, expressed as an integer 1-4. Rows are numbered from top to bottom, so 1 is the topmost row, while 4 is the bottommost row.
|
29 |
+
- **Starting Column**: The starting column position for a given word, expressed as an integer 1-4. Columns are numbered from left to right, so 1 is the leftmost row, while 4 is the rightmost row.
