Wordlebot is a simple python algorithm for solving wordle puzzles, and can be run either manually with user input (to solve a wordle puzzle) or automatically using internally-generated puzzles (for benchmarking).
Wordlebot uses a lookup table of common five-letter English words and their frequencies in text to choose words.
To initialize WordleBot in manual mode:
bot = WordleBot()The prompt will then be displayed:
*************************************
Next word: earth
g=green, y=yellow, x=black, q=quit n=not in word list, w=won, l=lost
Input the pattern for the last word:
Where 'earth' is the first word chosen by the algorithm. Enter this word into Wordle, then provide the results back to the algorithm using the letters g, y and x to represent green, yellow, and black square respectively, eg.
gxxyx
The manual loop will continue until the puzzle is solved.
In automatic mode, WordleBot creates a Wordle puzzle from a given word and solves it automatically. This is used for benchmarking Wordlebot automatically on hundreds of words.
g = WordleBot(answer='audio', verbose=True)yields the output
*************************************
Answer: audio
Word: earth
Result: xyxxx
*************************************
Answer: audio
Word: black
Result: xxyxx
*************************************
Answer: audio
Word: audio
Result: w
WORDLEBOT STRIKES AGAIN (3/6)
WordleBot includes a benchmarking function that runs hundreds of puzzles (using words pulled from the word list) and records the number of turns required to solve them.
benchmark_wordlebot(num=500) Running this command results in a histogram showing the score distribution across the given words.
