go-wordle's Issues

Improve graphics

The graphics in the bash script written by huytd look much nicer than the current version of this software. Update the printing to look better.

Use better Wordle Dictionary

The current wordle dictionary used by this software comes from dwyl and is best used for spellchecking, as it not only includes words of varying lengths, but also 5 letter words that are not allowed according to the "official" Wordle. This makes guessing correctly in this software harder than in the NYT wordle.

To address this issue, consider using a better wordle dictionary, such as the NYT one as posted by cfreshman.

Add hint feature

A user should be allowed to enter ? instead of a guess and then be given either one or more words as hints that could be the solution given the answer vector that has been returned so far. This will be similar to a "wordle solver," except we don't want to give all the answers so the wordle isn't solved for the user. Rather, the idea is to give the user valid terms that could be used to generate additional valid letters.

This will require either generating a list of possible answers given the answer vector the user has or keeping a running list as entries are added. Then one or more random elements from this list are printed per user request. We could consider deliberately preventing the correct answer from being displayed.
