The crowd-sourced difficulty ratings for my #Chainagram #WordPuzzle are created with data collected using the wonderful Simple Analytics simpleanalytics.com by @AdriaanvRossum. The best thing? As well as being simple to use it's totally anonymous, unlike #GoogleAnalytics.
Here's how it works: when you solve a puzzle, a number of Simple Analytics Events docs.simpleanalytics.com/events are triggered (again, completely anonymous). This includes how many additional checks you used (the same data is presented on page to the player).
The average number of additional checks used for a particular puzzle is compared to the distribution of additional checks for all the puzzles that have been released to date (the Simple Analytics Stats API docs.simpleanalytics.com/api/stats is used to build this distribution).
