This is a small program in Python to help solve Wordle riddles. It takes your guesses and their scores, compares them against the wordle masterlist and returns a shortlist of words that you can use as your next guess ...

Usage

• ensure that files wordle.py and wordle_word_list.txt are in the same directory

• keep updating the guesses and the scores you get in wordle in the file wordle.py

• everytime you execute wordle.py, it will give you a shortlist of words that meet all the scores correctly

• guesses and scores need to be updated in line 55 onwards

• example below

  code is 0 = grey, 1 = orange, 2 = green you can comment out any of the guesses by putting a # in front of it any guesses that do not have 5 characters in their check_word and score will be ignored

  for example in wordle 247 if your choices were

  • chasm (score grey-orange-grey-grey-grey)
  • under (score grey-grey-grey-green-green) and
  • hiker (score orange-grey-grey-green-green)

  .. you will set it up as

    guesses = []
    guesses.append({'check_word':'chasm', 'score': '01000'})
    guesses.append({'check_word':'under', 'score': '00022'})
    guesses.append({'check_word':'hiker', 'score': '10022'})
    guesses.append({'check_word':'', 'score': '00222'})
    guesses.append({'check_word':'', 'score': '22010'})

if you run the program with the above setting you will get a shortlist of 'ether' and 'other' which are the only two words that fit all the scores above ('other' was the correct answer for wordle 247)
