Increasing Win Percentage

[Pynkbyrd]

I have played a total of 3,543 word games. I have won 1,856 of these games, which makes my winning percentage 52%. How many more games must I play, and how many of those games must I win to increase my percentage to 53%? Is there an easy formula for me to plug-in so that I know how many games to play and win to keep increasing my winning percentage?

Thank you!

This is an online word game. I mistakenly began dividing the total games played by 53%, which I eventually realized gave me the number of games I would have had to win to achieve 53% if I never played another game. This is not what I am looking for. I am trying to figure out how to increase the win percentage, but I am not sure how to do that.

That is a lot of word games! Maybe you should do some maths games!
(Having said that I'm just a little bit addicted to the word game BONZA atm.)
