Anchoring!!!
If the range has nothing to do with the items in question, just have simple number input. Tested multiple times and all items were below default / midpoint.

#14I think you need to adjust the variation of scores, I got 1650 actually guessing, then realized most of the scores were low and got 1800 by just always guessing 239
I got 2038 by just going with the default 373 for all 5

Ah! Good idea. Hurts replayability though, since we probably get not more than one 1000 pointer each week.
Include some 0 to 4 score posts with interesting headlines. Should be pretty funny I think :)
For example:
Rubin Observatory Discovers Surprise 'Tail' on Iconic Galaxy - 2
Vera Rubin's primary mirror gets its first reflective coating - 157
