This is a ruby command line utility for cheating a Wordl and Spelling Bee.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'wordcheat'And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install wordcheat
NOTE a word list is not included in this repo but the internet is full of text files containing lists of english words. This is good one: words_alpha.txt.
When installed as a gem it takes command line arguments and, given a file containing a list of words, returns a list of those words that match the criteria.
Usage: wordcheat [options]
-f, --file=PATH Path to a line delimited list of words (./words.txt is default)
-p, --pattern=PATTERN Words must match the exact pattern using '_' for unknown spaces and letters for known spaces (e.g. 'b_dg_r')
-n, --length=LENGTH Words much match the length given
-g, --at-least=LENGTH Words much be at least length letters
-m, --must=CHARS Words must include the given letters
-x, --must-not=CHARS Words must not include the given letters
-o, --only=CHARS Words must only use the letters given
-h, --help Display this screen
Example:
If you had a Wordl game where you knew that the third leter was 'A' and had to include a 'C' and a 'V' you could run:
wordcheat -p __A__ -w CV -f words_alpha.txt
you would get a list of words including the word "crave".
If you had a Spelling Bee game where the center letter was 'C' and the other letters were 'B', 'F', 'E', 'T', 'S' you could run:
wordcheat -g 4 -m c -o cbfets -f words_alpha.txt
And you would get results including the word "effect".
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
