Limitations and assumptions

No dictionary, board premiums, crosswords or rack bonus is included.

Numeric inputs, where present, must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Numeric lists are limited to 10,000 entries; string lists to 128 strings of at most 128 characters each. The rules above may impose smaller limits. Extremely large text inputs are rejected. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use Scrabble Bingo 50-Point Bonus Check: A rack-clear bonus can be modeled by a caller threshold. The threshold need not equal the declared rack capacity. For a complementary task, use Wordle Green/Yellow/Gray Feedback Pattern: Wordle feedback must account for repeated letters. Exact matches consume answer letters before misplaced matches.
