Viewing Statistics

To view your game statistics:
  1. Click the Stats button in the main menu
  2. A modal window opens displaying your complete statistics
  3. Click the × button to close the statistics modal
Statistics are stored locally on your Kindle using localStorage, so they persist across sessions and game restarts.

​
Tracked Metrics

KWordle tracks several key performance metrics:

​
Core Statistics

Played

Total number of games you’ve completed (won or lost).

Win %

Your win percentage, calculated as:(Games Won ÷ Games Played) × 100Rounded to the nearest whole number.

Current Streak

Number of consecutive games you’ve won without losing.Resets to 0 when you lose a game.

Max Streak

Your longest winning streak ever achieved.This record is never reset, even if your current streak ends.

​
Guess Distribution

The guess distribution chart shows how many attempts it typically takes you to win: 
Guess Distribution

1  ██████████ 5
2  ████████████████████ 12
3  ███████████████████████████ 18
4  ██████████████ 9
5  ████████ 4
6  ███ 2
This example shows:
  • Won 5 games on the 1st attempt
  • Won 12 games on the 2nd attempt
  • Won 18 games on the 3rd attempt (most common)
  • Won 9 games on the 4th attempt
  • Won 4 games on the 5th attempt
  • Won 2 games on the 6th attempt
A strong player will have most wins concentrated in attempts 2-4, showing consistent performance.

​
How Statistics Are Updated

​
When You Win

When you successfully guess the word:
  1. Games Played increases by 1
  2. Games Won increases by 1
  3. Current Streak increases by 1
  4. Guess Distribution for that attempt number increases by 1
  5. If Current Streak > Max Streak, Max Streak is updated

​
When You Lose

When you use all 6 attempts without guessing:
  1. Games Played increases by 1
  2. Current Streak resets to 0
  3. No change to Games Won or Guess Distribution
  4. Max Streak remains unchanged
Statistics are only updated when a game is completed (won or lost). Starting a new game before finishing doesn’t update statistics.

​
Data Storage

KWordle uses your Kindle’s localStorage to save statistics:

​
Storage Format

{
  "gamesPlayed": 50,
  "gamesWon": 42,
  "currentStreak": 5,
  "maxStreak": 12,
  "guessDistribution": [3, 8, 15, 10, 5, 1]
}
The guessDistribution array has 6 elements:
  • Index 0: Games won on attempt 1
  • Index 1: Games won on attempt 2
  • Index 2: Games won on attempt 3
  • Index 3: Games won on attempt 4
  • Index 4: Games won on attempt 5
  • Index 5: Games won on attempt 6

​
Persistence

Yes! Statistics are automatically saved to localStorage after each completed game. They persist even if you:
  • Close the KWordle booklet
  • Restart your Kindle
  • Update to a new version of KWordle
No, statistics are stored locally on each individual Kindle device. If you play on multiple Kindles, each will have separate statistics.
There is no built-in reset button. Statistics would only reset if:
  • You clear your Kindle’s browser data/cache
  • You delete the localStorage data manually
  • You reinstall KWordle to a different location
No, statistics track all games combined across all languages. Your performance in English, French, German, etc. all contribute to the same statistics.

​
Statistics Display

The statistics modal shows:

​
Header Section

Displays the four core metrics in a grid layout:
  • Games Played
  • Win Percentage
  • Current Streak
  • Max Streak

​
Distribution Chart

A visual bar chart showing your guess distribution:
  • Each row represents one attempt number (1-6)
  • Bar width is proportional to the number of wins
  • The number at the end of each bar shows the exact count
  • Bars are scaled relative to your most common winning attempt
Bars have a minimum width of 7% to ensure visibility even for attempts with very few wins.

​
Interpreting Your Stats

​
Excellent Performance

  • Win % above 90%
  • Most wins on attempts 2-3
  • Current streak of 10+ games

​
Good Performance

  • Win % above 75%
  • Most wins on attempts 3-4
  • Consistent winning streaks of 5+ games

​
Room for Improvement

  • Win % below 60%
  • Most wins on attempts 5-6
  • Difficulty maintaining streaks
To improve your statistics:
  • Start with common vowels (A, E, I, O, U)
  • Use high-frequency consonants (R, S, T, N)
  • Eliminate letters strategically
  • Pay attention to letter position feedback
