Wordle-Solver

This project is in response to NYT adding double letters to Wordle. Written in Python 3.6 in my freetime, this class can be added to a project with the given word list text file or a custom word list text file to predict games of wordle.

Instalation

To use in your program,

1. Place the Wordle_Solver.py file into your project and use it as a namespace. Alternatively, you may just use WordleBot from Wordle_Solver. import Wordle_Solver or from Wordle_Solver import WordleBot
2. Place the .txt file from ZippedWords.zip into your project so that the Wordle_Solver may access it for reference when creating a list of words. If you wish to use your own text file, name your text file Words.txt.
3. Instantiate a Wordle Bot in your main method with an optional integer for length. The default length of a word is 5 letters, as is the standard in Wordle. solver = Wordle_Solver.WordleBot()

Methods

There are several methods attached to this Wordle Solver, meaning that this class alone cannot solve a Wordle. However because of this, you can fine tune your program.

• print(solver) Print statement will print the number of possible words remaining.
• solver.removeGuess(word) Method removes a word from the Wordle Solver's list of words
• solver.blackLet(character) Method will take a character and add it to the Wordle Solver's list of non-usable characters.
• solver.yellowLet(character) Method will ask the user for the index of the yellow character given, and remove any impossible words.
• solver.greenLet(character) Method will ask the user for the index of the green character given, and remove any impossible words.
• solver.getGuesses() Method will cycle through its list of words and grade them based on probability of success. It will then return the best word in its list as a string.

Program Example

from Wordle_Solver import WordleBot

wordleSolver = WordleBot()

while input("Has the wordle been solved? (y/n): ").lower() == "n":
    guess = wordleSolver.getGuesses()

    # Print number of possible words
    print(wordleSolver)

    # Ask if wordle recognizes this word:
    while input(f'Does wordle recognize "{guess}"? (y/n): ').lower() == "n":
        # Remove the word and choose another if word was not recognized
        wordleSolver.removeGuess(guess)
        guess = wordleSolver.getGuesses()

    for letter in guess:
        result = input(f'What was the best result of the letter {letter} (g/y/b): ')

        if result.lower() == "g":
            wordleSolver.greenLet(letter)

        if result.lower() == "y":
            wordleSolver.yellowLet(letter)

        if result.lower() == "b":
            wordleSolver.blackLet(letter)
