daily   gaily  candy

What was your guess? 

The game will interactively ask you what word you guessed with, and how the game responded.

The response string is 5 letters long and consisting only of either w, m, or c.

  • w means your letter is wrong and the game shows it in a grey background.
  • m is for misplaced letters and has an orange background.
  • c is for correct letters and has a green background.

Limitations

WordleSolver will not guarantee to win you in 1 round. It has a 0.002% chance of giving you a first-round victory. You have to be either incredibly lucky or smart to do better than that.

WordleSolver has a 34% chance of giving you a 4th round victory, and a 24% chance at the 5th.

WordleSolver's prediction algorithms is only 91.8% stable. This means the program will either fail to give you a solution at the 6th round or there's still a corner case where it cannot make any more predictions (especially if the Wordle has repeating letters).

There is no way to undo wrong inputs in the game; you just have to start all-over again.

Development and testing

  1. Prepare your development environment:

    git clone <this-project> && cd wordlesolver
    python3 -m venv .venv
    source .venv/bin/activate
    pip install -U pip -e .[dev]
  2. Run unit tests:

    pytest
  3. Run unit tests code coverage:

    pytest --cov-report=html
    open htmlcov/index.html
  4. Run stability tests (4 to 5 hours):

    pipenv run pytest --runslow -s > stability_tests.txt
