The Suffix Hunter

What it measures

Words carrying a prefix or a suffix.

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 Suffix Hunter, and the type can change as you play.
