This is a Rust + Yew WASM web-app which implements an interactive Wordle solver, described originally by Grant Sanderson (3blue1brown)'s YouTube video on solving wordle with information theory.
It's running live on my site, at https://wordle.joey.sh where you can try it out. It's best viewed on a desktop, and works in recent versions of all major browsers.
The mathematics are described in code documentation, and the webpage is supposed to be styled like a notebook & as such also documents the mathematics/methodology.
The site is built with trunk. It is recommended to run the setup.sh script to install the required tools.
You must have the following installed:
- Rust (check out: rustup to get this working), and obviously a working cargo installation.
- wasm32-unknown-unknown target for Rust (
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown) - wasm-opt which requires node.js
- sass which can be installed from npm.
The setup.sh script only requires that cargo and npm be installed.
Trunk is capable of installing some (perhaps all) of the tools it depends on (like sass, wasm-opt, etc). However, I
develop on an M1 Mac (in June 2022) and trunk does not correctly install required tools because the architecture is not
supported. This is why I have created setup.sh. It is possible that simply installing trunk and trying to build will
be sufficient to build this project.
The output of a successful build will be a set of static files in the dist/ directory. Serve these files from a
webserver or cloud storage bucket, and play some Wordle!
