Plausible is a daily word game where players try to spot the real definition of an obscure word among the fakes submitted by other players the day before.
How it works:
Find the real definition from a list of six, in as few attempts as possible. You'll immediately see your score and daily stats compared to other players.
(Optional) Come up with your own plausible fake definition for tomorrow's word. The more players you fool, the higher you climb on the daily leaderboard!
The game's mechanics are based on the classic parlour game Fictionary, also known as The Dictionary Game or under the commercial title Balderdash.
The false definitions you submit rank on public leaderboard. The more players your definition fools, the higher your score. However, not every definition can be shown to the same number of players. To fairly compare all submissions, Plausible uses a pairwise Elo system: each time a player votes for a definition, the chosen definition gains points and the remaining definitions lose points. Through these pairwise comparisons, a global ranking emerges in which all definitions compete indirectly with each other, regardless of how many votes they've received. The higher your definition's score, the more players we'll show it to.
