Coverage Gaps
- Wordle: needs variant-format coverage (Quordle, Octordle) and duplicate-letter logic.
- Crossword: add constructor-side terminology and Schrödinger-style themes.
- Linguistics: pragmatics, phonotactics, lemma/token distinction not yet covered.
- Educational concepts: scaffolding, ZPD, Bloom's taxonomy and explicit-vs-implicit instruction missing.
- Reading/Literacy: Lexile framework and morphological awareness deserve dedicated entries.
Internal Linking Quality
Average related-term density is 2.68 links per entry — comfortably above the 2-link threshold considered minimal for topic-cluster SEO. Link integrity is 99%, with 2 dangling slugs to clean up in Wave 3.
