The Latinist

What it measures

Words that come down from Latin.

Every player with at least twenty traced words is scored on eight axes, and the one they sit furthest above the median on becomes their type. It is a comparison against everybody else, not a score — nobody is winning at being Latinist, and the type can change as you play.
