* A wrong answer is considered "good" if it receives a high proportion of votes. * If the spread of quality amongst wrong answers to a question is wide enough, swap out the worst after some fixed number of uses. * If the spread is narrow, randomly swap in any other dictionary word for the worst option, again after some fixed number of uses.
This will converge all questions to a situation where all but one of the false options are maximally confusing.
The tricky part is that you'd have to have a hand-coded list of all words which could be considered correct answers so that you never present one of those intending it as a false option!
