How this ranking works

Scores are computed once, when the site is built, from the Wiktionary data. Every headword whose definitions mention “entrails” gets the points below; the candidates are then sorted by total. The score is shown on each entry above so the order can be checked rather than trusted.

A candidate has to be a real headword with its own entry: inflected forms and grammatical terminology (genitive, nominative, preterite, …) never appear here.

Not one of these?

The match may be a different sense of “entrails”, or an inflected form rather than a headword. Look up the form directly — the entry page marks the grammatical case.
