TLDR:
The predictions are the game. You take a word, flash the corresponding numbers associated per letter within a numerical count of the alphabet, so you are flashed the numbers and briefly allowing the brain to intake the data and let the brain scramble and cook up an estimate for a proper prediction of the total word sum value. PPS is what you want to score high on. PPS is calculated using a 4.5 second timer, A fast player should be able to predict within 1 to 2 seconds. By virtue of PPS equation, people who predict under 4.5 seconds are awarded more PPS. If you predict just at 4.5 seconds or a 1-2 seconds over, you get a percentage of your total points earned for the Word Sum Prediction. This percentage decreases faster and faster as time goes on. By time 9 seconds past, you will only get half of your total score for PPS. So try to predict under 4.5 seconds for maximum PPS score. PPS Score is best indicator of skill===========
Calculations
===========
Prediction Points = 50 - |prediction - word_sum|
Accuracy Bonus = 600 / (below_prediction - above_prediction)
Prediction Error is = |Prediction - word_sum|
Timed Prediction PPS = (totalscore / (predictiontime/4500ms))

Everything [ ] is for focus recognition and focus emphasis for you the reader.
The brain has the ability to take various [visual and mental focuses] and compile it into a [prediction] of outcome. Finding a word's numerical value can help you make [mathematical predictions] based upon your ability to count, add and associate letters by number. By looking at the word, you can guestimate what's the word value. This is a form of [prediction]. The letters are associated with the number in your mind and are pinged based upon strength of memory association, imagination of number with corresponding letter, and the ability to take a bunch of numbers and instantaneously come up with a sum value which serves as a form of [prediction] within the mind. You can practice your mind's ability to [associate and predict] by associating the alphabet with numerical values starting 1-26.
Assigning number values 1-26 to the alphabet "A1 B2 C3 D4 E5 F6 G7 H8 I9 J10 K11 L12 M13 N14 O15 P16 Q17 R18 S19 T20 U21 V22 W23 X24 Y25 Z26," will serve as a reference in calculating and help you predict word values. This will allow you to practice your memory association ability and the ability to strengthen association with while your brain takes in the letters and converts them to numbers, the brain takes the set group of numbers and both unknowingly and knowingly make a mathematical prediction of the total sum value of the word.
[Prediction Windows] are giving the observer a guessing range to help direct the brain in an accurate direction for predicting word number values. "Prediction Range" is on by default. This will take the Prediction Range number and plus and minus it to final prediction for your [Prediction Window]. [Prediction Window] is [Below Prediction] minus [Above Prediction]. Playing this mode makes it so your brain focuses on making a final estimate prediction of the word sum on the [Prediction Grid] from using your eyes to quickly glance over the numbers and tally up what you can while you see it, then your brain taking that focus of visual memory, once you focus on visual memory it goes into your short term memory and then gets used in working memory in your prefrontal cortex. To quickly come up with a final word sum estimate.
