Programmatically finding all remaining eligible words for a Wordle game from guess-score pairs.
Love scrabble and tried upwords but the constraints aren’t right and it’s not as fun
Does it use the same wordlist as wordle or have they specifically chosen words that would be impossible to not get?
a list of allowed two-letter words on a piece of paper, with the game, and updated from time to time by agreements, solves this well ! local example - 'IQ' is not allowed, but 'Qi' is on the list..
This is great. But it seems to fail with words containing repeat letters, for example, with my word as BOOKS, not on hard mode:SOARE JUMBY BOOST (at this point, it claimed to have won!)
first solution word i got was "DONNA" which was kind of rough to guess. second game it told me "DRAPE" wasn't a word. the game worked fine though, thanks. there's an everyday variant also at fiveletters.xyz
With WordSegments you need to guess a 5-letter word within 6 guesses. After each guess, the correct and incorrect segments of each letter will be highlighted and you can use these to guide you toward the correct letters and word.Give it a try if you are interested:https://www.wordsegments.com
Looks fun. Couple dictionary issues, but those can be fixed. Anybody know of the best free dictionaries for word-games?
The optimal starting word is ARISE, as it partitions the possible words most evenly across the different green/yellow/grey colour combinations
Nice game, it gets pretty had not to repeat letters after the first words
