How to read and use your GuessHeat stats

This page keeps a record of your games on your own device. Nothing here needs an account. Below is a simple way to use it, plus a few tips for getting a clear picture of your progress.

Step by step

1. Play a few rounds of GuessHeat first. The page can only show what you have already played in this browser.
2. Come back to My Stats and look at the numbers shown for your games.
3. Compare them with your last visit. Look at the trend, not a single game.
4. Play again and check after a few more rounds to see whether your results move.
5. Use the clear button only when you want a fresh start. It erases the saved stats in this browser.

A worked example

Say you have played 12 games and solved 9 of them. Your solve rate is 9 ÷ 12 = 0.75, or 75%.

Now say those 9 solved games took 36 guesses in total. Your average is 36 ÷ 9 = 4 guesses per solved game.

A week later you have played 20 games and solved 16, using 56 guesses in total. Your solve rate is 16 ÷ 20 = 80%. Your average is 56 ÷ 16 = 3.5 guesses. Both numbers improved, and you can see it because you worked them out from the same two figures each time.

These numbers are only an illustration. Your own page may show different figures, so use the same method with whatever it displays.

Practical tips

• Judge over many games. A short run of luck or bad luck says little. Ten or more games give a fairer view.
• Set a small goal. For example, try to lower your average number of guesses a little over the next week.
• Note what changes. If you try a new approach, such as starting with a very different first guess, check your stats afterwards to see if it helped.
• Keep one browser. Stats are tied to the browser you play in, so switching browsers or devices will split your history.
• Avoid private windows. Private or incognito sessions usually delete saved data when you close them.

Frequently asked questions

Why are my stats empty or lower than I expected?

You may be using a different browser or device than before, or a private window. Saved data may also have been removed if you cleared your browser data. In that case the history cannot be recovered from this page.

Can I see my stats on my phone and my computer together?

No. Because the stats live in each browser, your phone and your computer keep separate records. Each one only shows the games played on it.

Is it safe to clear my stats?

Yes, but it cannot be undone. Clearing removes the saved results from this browser only, and your counts start again from zero. If you want to keep a record first, write down the figures you care about, such as your solve rate or your average guesses.
