KANA_COLUMNconstant

WHAT A KANA WORD SCORES, won or lost, on English's scale (wordScore) so the two boards read alike. A guess's weight is the rows still to come.

• PLACED: a place first played plain green, 10 × that guess's weight.
• ELSEWHERE: a kana of the word never placed but found another way — orange, or green with an arrow — 4 × the weight of the guess that first showed it.
• COLUMN: a place never found either way whose column a yellow once named, 1 × that guess's weight: it says which column, not which kana.
• FOUND and SPEED: as English — the word 10 a place for every guess the board gives (foundBonus) and 25 a guess left, and up to 50 for a word found inside a minute.

A lost word never had every place plain green in one guess, so it comes to at most 10 × (kana × guesses − 1), and a word found on its last row to more than that (kanaScore.test.ts, at every size and count of guesses). Only a word with no kana and no column found scores 0.
