If there are 4 or fewer scores, the message "Swipe left to remove scorecard" is displayed to subtly teach users about the delete gesture. If there are 5 or more scores, the message changes to "Swipe down to see all scores" to indicate that more content is available by scrolling. This provides more relevant and contextual hints to the user.
