Reduce number of hints for short verses #147

Closed spookylukey closed 1 year ago

There is already some logic that reduces the number of hints you get for short verses. However, it is still too many. This is especially true for first letter testing, where a hint is the whole word - for a verse with 6 words, for example, on first letter testing you get 3 hints, which is half the verse.

Also, there is basically no penalty for using hints (i.e. no reward for not using them). To encourage more thinking, perhaps use of hints should have a points penalty.

This way, the hint is still useful for allowing you to still get '100%' on the test (and therefore continue a streak of 'Aces'), but it is discouraged i.e. we encourage people to think a bit harder :-)

Implemented as part of #142

I'm not going to bother with the penalty for hints.
