Wordle Solver

Automatic solver for Wordle (and Mathler).

Compiling

Simply compile with CMake:

cmake .
make

Running Wordle

Run:

./wordle

This will print out all the traces for every possible word, and finally the average number of guesses over the entire corpus.

A specific word can be analyzed with:

./wordle <word>

Which prints out the internal state and individual guesses. This internal state consists of the total number of valid guesses and answers, as well as:

• Known yellow letters
• The valid letters for each position of the word.

The program can also be run interactively with:

./wordle ?

Which will query the user for the result of a play, which is encoded as a string of length 5. For example, if the hidden word is wooer, and the guess is roate, the string will be ygbby. Type the string in, press enter, and get the next guess.

Running Mathler

Run:

./mathler

This will print out all the traces for every possible equation for values 0 to 100, and finally the average number of guesses over the entire set.

The results for a specific value can be analyzed with:

./mathler <n>

Which prints similar output to the above, but only for equations that equal <n>.

The program can also be run interactively with:

./mathler ? <n>

Which will query the user for the result of a play, which is encoded as a string of length 6. Be sure to put in the value as <n>. Type the string in, press enter, and get the next guess.

The equations for a specific value can be output with:

./mathler list <n>

Which prints out the list of all equations that equal <n>.

Finally, a specific equation can be inspected with:

./mathler <eq> <n>

Which prints out the internal state and individual guesses. This internal state consists of the total number of valid guesses and answers, as well as:

• Known yellow symbols
• The valid numbers and symbols for each position of the word.
