Wordle Solver

Overview

This is yet another wordle solver. It is built with the word list of the official wordle website, but it should also work with most wordle websites. The algorithm is quite efficient, but it is not perfect. On playing 50 games of wordle using the solver, the average number of tries it took to guess the word is 3.86.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or later

Installation

• Clone the repository: https://github.com/nexxeln/wordle-solver
• Create a new virtual environment: python -m venv venv
• Activate the virtual environment
  
  • Windows: venv/Scripts/activate
  • Linux: venv/bin/activate
  • MacOS: venv/bin/activate
• Install the dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

• Go to the wordle website
• Run the program: python wordle.py
  • The solver will provide you the words to guess
  • To input the colours the convention is:
    • x for gray/black (letter is not in the word)
    • y for yellow (letter is in the word but in the wrong position)
    • g for greeen
  • Enter the words provided in the wordle website
  • You can also see the demo gif above
• Flex your wordle skills and share it with your friends
