What’s left in the bag?

Every other page here assumes a full bag, which is true for exactly one draw a game. This one doesn’t. Tap the tiles you can see — on the board and on your own rack — and every figure below recomputes for what remains.

The bag is running roughly as it started — 42.0% vowels against the 42.0% it started with. That is the number worth tracking: it tells you which tiles to hold and which to dump.

Mark what you can see

Tap a tile each time you see one. The number under it is how many are still unseen.

Exact hypergeometric odds over the 100 unseen tiles — counted, not simulated, and recomputed as you tap.

What “unseen” means. Not on the board and not on your rack — which includes whatever your opponents are holding, because you cannot tell those apart. That is the pool every tracking player actually works from, and the odds above are exact over it.

Why there is no bingo figure here. The 12.6% bingo rate is a full-bag number, and recomputing it for an arbitrary remaining pool means walking 3,199,724 rack combinations against the word list — about half a minute offline, and it depends on the whole pool, so there is nothing to precompute. Rather than show you an approximation dressed as an exact figure, this page shows what it can count.
