Found 73 words in totalThe ./words_alpha.txt argument is a text file containing a newline delimited list of
valid words to reference when searching for Squardle words.
The ./games/2022-11-01.txt argument is a text file containing the Squardle board as
newline separated rows of characters.
Okay so fair warning, this section does cross the line into cheating IMO.
The :/load_current_games.py script reads the Squaredle API and extracts the current
available games — usually today and yesterdays games. It then writes out the game board
to the :/games directory.
The script also writes a corresponding _words.txt file which is the part that is kinda
cheating. It contains a list of only the valid & bonus words for the corresponding game.
You can use this file instead of the words_alpha.txt file to ensure 100% accuracy of
the results.
This script uses the requests library to read the API, which if you don't have already
you can install yourself or run the script in the Pipenv environment via:
pipenv install
pipenv run ./load_current_games.py
