Worlde game and heuristic solver

wordle-pysolver

Description

Mini side project to create the wordle game and a simple solver with the word list as input. Exploring the use of rich python library and specific python3 features such as type hints.

Playing the game manually

Running python game.py will start a manual game with a randomly selected word (from the 2315 words list).

Guessing valid 5 letters words will show the result of each guess. The Game will finish when the correct word is guessed or when the player reaches 6 incorrect guesses.

Running the tester

The tester is used to automatically run many games given a particular solver class (found in solver.py). The number of games won, average number of guesses and the time taken to play the games are shown. Run using python tester.py [WORD_LIST_FILEPATH] where the first argument points to the filepath for the words list.

Create wordle solver

• Read file of all possible 5 letter words
• Write wordle game logic, enum for guess states
• Develop pruning word list algorithm for playing game, starting off with random
• Score word list by frequency of letters
• Score based on position of letter
• Use ngrams for sorting
