Each label is a complete model configuration. Lower and farther left is better; the shaded quadrant is below the median on both measures.

A model must make Redactle word guesses until every meaningful title word is revealed. Scores measure accepted guesses above the article title's word-count par, so a model that reveals every title word with exactly one guess per title word scores 0. In the hint-enabled evaluations, every hint adds 50 points.

The 500-word evaluation stops after 30 accepted guesses. If a model is still solving at that point, the attempt receives a score of 60 guesses. That is a cost-saving shortcut, not an estimate of how many guesses the model would have needed to finish. Other configurations use the same rule at twice their own guess limit.

Results from incomplete configurations remain visible but are not ranked. Article titles, excerpts, and per-article outcomes are deliberately omitted so this page does not spoil Redactle puzzles.
