Phonetic breakdown for Wright

How the Smoothness Score is calculated
Five inputs, no guesswork: beat-count fit, junction sound, repeated-letter hit, size fit, and total-beat limit. Adjacent beats help; big gap hurts. Alternating vowel–consonant helps; same-type hurts. Double letter at junction hurts. Balanced size helps; excess length hurts. Deterministic: same pair always gives same 0–100 value.
