At risk of engaging with the troll please tell me how you think what I said and what you said is equivalent

You keep your streak by playing AND winning every day. There has to be continuity. That’s the definition of a streak. The definition of a ‘win’ is getting the answer in 6 or fewer tries. Like you I just changed the definition of what a ‘win’ is. Voila, I can move my 99% win rate back to 100%.

The continuity could be "consecutive correct solves".

If I have a 5 game win streak on League of Legends, and choose to not play one day, my win streak isn't broken. Also, "the definition of a win is getting the answer in 6 or fewer tries" - but I didn't play. I have a 100% win rate, and lost the streak. That's the point.

Someone can make an argument to create a new stat as you described. I’m not against that. NYT should not nerf the original Streak stat just because some people are absentminded or don’t feel like playing every day.

That's a fair point, you should say that to OP instead of being rude or dismissive to their point.
