wordle clone and solver. written in rust. Just Ok

Primary LanguageRust

Ok I don't actually suck at wordle. I just wanted to be better.

what is wordle?

a fun online word puzzle game. check it out over at https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/

what is this repo?

this repo contains both a small wordle clone cargo run --bin player and then a wordle solver cargo run --bin solver.

how do i use it?

Just run the solver and follow the on screen instructions. Everything is done through text input. NOTE: if you dont follow the on-screen instructions as theyre written the program will probably crash. I didnt error check user input all that much No I dont plan on making a gui, I wrote this in a day because I was frustrated with the game.

is it any good?

It's pretty average. In my tests it seems to average a solve in 4 tries. I've never seen it fail to solve a word. Better hueristics would probably lead to better solves. Or some weird ML stuff who knows.
