I will not share the video here, but I discussed it with my sons and they pointed out several other non-data issues. "Would you like to try something like this?" I asked. "Sure!" I'd love to instill some #datavis into their graphic design skills. Maybe this is the moment I was waiting for...

Watching a video describing a sector. A few debatable visualization choices, ok. Then this (not the original, I'm replicating the spirit but not the design details). This is supposed to be a respectable data-driven organization. Not sure I can unsee this and respect them again (#datavis -wise).

Pie chart titled "WAGES IN THIS SECTOR". A large blue slice takes up most of the circle and is labeled "85.2% of the national average", while a smaller light gray slice completes the remaining portion of the chart.

For all those nice people who followed done because I'm on @chezvoila.com 's great #datavis list...make sure to follow Alberto @albertocairo.com , below, as he posts more datavis and data science than I do - as I get caught up with national security issues rather much lately :+)

Hey #Datavis / #Dataviz peeps - Have you ever seen any dashboards presenting stock monitoring data? I just drove past a herd the other day that had monitor collars attached, and I thought "I wonder how this data is being presented in regards to animal health?"

Can you amplify?

Title: Bonus Questions

Data shown:
- How many (& which) possible Word500 Standard answers are in A>Z order, or Z>A order
- Which have the longest and shortest A>Z span
- Highest and lowest scrabble scores
- How many anagrams are in the word set?

5/5

#word500 #infographics #datavis #dataviz

An infographic with a cream-colored background and dark-blue sans-serif font, and graphics reusing the red, green, and yellow colors of Word500. The subtitle is "A collection of minor information that is in all way useless for solving puzzles, and serves no practical purpose". The first graphic shows that, in the set of possible Word500 Standard mode answers, there are 13 that are in alphabetical order, including ABHOR, ABORT, ADEPT, and ADOPT. There are 7 in reverse alphabetical order, including WRONG, UNFED, TONIC, and SONIC.

It is shown that the word with the longest alphabet span is HANDY, which spans 24 letters of the alphabet, and the shortest is SPORT, which only spans 5.

The word which scores the highest at Scrabble would be WHACK, with 17 points, and the least would be LUNAR, worth only 5 points.

The bottom shows that there are 3 distinct groups of 4 words that can be anagrammed into each other, for example, STEAL, SLATE, STALE, and LEAST ("anagram families"). There are 15 such groups of 3 words. 78 groups of 2 words. And there are 956 words in the set that can not be anagrammed into any other. The massive differences in these sums is illustrated with nested circles whose areas correspond to the values shown.

Title: Word Search

Data shown:
- the top 10 words in the Word500 Standard mode answer set by expected info (weighted average).
- the 10 words with the lowest risk (difference in outcomes)
- the 10 HIGHEST risk
- 30 most likely to result in a 005

4/5

#word500 #infographic #datavis #dataviz

A very information-dense infographic on a cream-colored background with dark blue sans-serif text. At top, it is explained that the information data given is the exponent to which 2 must be raised to get the reduction factor (i.e. log n base 2). It gives the example that if the stated information is three, 2 raised to 3 equals 8, therefore that word reduces the answerspace by a factor of 8, or to 1/8th its previous size.
The top 10 words by expected info are shown as STARE, CRATE, TRACE, SLATE, CRANE, SPARE, SCARE, SHARE, GLARE, and STALE.

In the middle, it is explained that the RISK shown is how much the possible outcomes vary. Little variance between possible outcomes = low risk. Wildly different outcomes = high risk.

The lowest-risk words shown are CRANE, STARE, BLARE, SNARE, BRACE, SLATE, SCARE, CRATE, GRACE, and FLARE.

The highest-risk words shown are AUDIO, NYMPH, GUMBO, OMEGA, DUMPY, OPTIC, AVOID, AWFUL, ETHOS, and ENDOW.

At bottom, it explains the potential interest of seeking a 005 (all wrong) answer, and presents the 30 words most likely to result in one. The first five are DUMPY, PUDGY, FUNKY, BULKY, and WIMPY. This section also highlights in green letters which are among the 10 most frequent letters.

Title: Vowel Movements

Data shown: various statistics about vowels across Word500 Standard mode answers, including cons/vowel patterns, vowel frequencies, and vowel densities.

3/5

#word500 #infographic #datavis #dataviz

A cream-colored infographic with dark-blue sans-serif text and graphics repurposing the red, green, and yellow colors used on Word500, entitled Vowel Movements. At top, a horizontal bar chart shows the frequency of different patterns of consonants and vowels across Word500 Standard mode answers. CCVCC tops the list with 214 occurrences observed, while CVVVC, VCCCC, and VVCVV bring up the rear with 1 each.

In the middle, a split bar chart displays the frequency of vowels vs consonants in each letter position. The first is overwhelmingly (89.39%) likely to be a consonant, with spots two and three being about even, and four and five being about two-thirds consonants.

At bottom, a text at left explains that of all occurrences of Y in the answer set, it functioned as a vowel in all but 10 (5.92%) of cases. A pie/donut chart at right shows that 24.12% of words had 1 vowel, 64.93% had 2, 10.86% had 3, and only one word out of all the words looked at had four vowels: AUDIO.

Heatmaps of letter pairs across possible Word500 Standard mode answers. The first shows the overall frequency of bigrams - pairs of sequential letters.

The second shows frequency of first and last letter pairs.

Dark blue = zero or impossible

2/5

#word500 #infographic #datavis #dataviz

An infographic titled "Double Dragons" on a cream background, featuring two heatmaps analyzing letter relationships in Word500 Standard answers.

The top heatmap, "Bigrams," maps pairs of sequential letters (First Letter vs. Second Letter). Redder squares indicate higher percentages of all letter pairs. Highlights include S frequently followed by T (1.67%), and ER representing 1.78% of all sequential pairs. Dark blue squares indicate impossible or non-occurring bigrams (like FV or BB).

The bottom heatmap, "Bookends," maps the first and last letters of words (e.g., row C, column E for CRATE). It notes that 4.7% of all possible answers start with S and end with E, for example. A footnote explains that color scaling in Bookends is non-proportional to highlight subtle variations among lower values.

Friends introduced me to Word500. I was crap at it. In revenge, I downloaded the word list, wrote a solver bot, and spent a week compiling stats and data into some amateur infographics.

They encouraged me to share them. This one is letter frequencies.

1/5

#word500 #datavis #dataviz #infographic

An infographic with cream-colored background and dark blue sans-serif text and graphics, showing letter frequencies across Word500 Standard mode answers, both by overall frequency (count and percentage given) and by position in the word (represented by 5-bar histograms with blue/gray gradient coloring). The statistics show that E, A, R, T, I, O, S, L, N, and C are the 10 most common letters by overall frequency, and K, F, W, and V are the 4 least likely. Other insights shown include that an E or Y, if present, is likely at the end of the word, whereas an S would be very likely to be the first letter.
