Total number of letters on the board should be ~0.8-0.9x the total number of letters in all of the words being placed. This will be higher or lower depending on the distribution of words lengths (e.g. 75 long words are harder to place than 80 short words)
Equation to use: board_size = floor(sqrt(0.9 x total_letters))
