Archetype fits — v4 deep

How well this game shape maps to mobile archetype templates. Composite is a weighted sum of the 10 fit dimensions.

Balatro
line_completion_multiplication is a real multiplicative scoring primitive — late completed lines multiply tile×count, the closest thing to joker-stacking in this batch. Multi-player solitaire decouples from opponents so solo-shape translation is direct. Capped on combo_scaling at 5 because it's tile×count not exponential.

Wordle
Strong Wordle-fit candidate: solo daily-seeded tile sequence (everyone gets the same draw), parallel-solitaire is exactly the daily-puzzle competitive frame, and the hex-board completion grid IS the share-emoji output. Loss is mild ('better tomorrow').

Cozy
Tonal-cozy: Pattern Building + tableau_personal_board + attribute_alignment_scoring + no anti-cozy primitives — clean cozy register. No cap on loss_tolerance, score to feel: 8 (multi-player solitaire = no opponent sting). One of the strongest cozy-fits in this batch.

Snap
Open-information parallel-solo — no hidden play, no factional roster, no lane reveal beat. Wrong shape for Snap.
5.707.0646697
Coop
Parallel-solo, not coop — no info channel, no shared fail-state. The coop-load-bearing dimensions all miss.

Difficulty reasoning

Multi-player solitaire with a caller and simultaneous placement is a direct mobile fit; the puzzle is purely spatial and works perfectly on touchscreen.
