Wordle solving

Specify the letter and it's position.

-s [LETTER] [POSITION]

--exclude

Use this flag if the letter is not in the word at (x) position. (the letter is yellow) The flag can be used to tell the program the letter isn't at a specific position. Use it to specify you got a yellow letter at (x) position.

-x [LETTER] [POSITION]

-i [LETTER]

example commands:

simple command

the following command will search for all words (in the nyt word list) with the following characteristics:

• first letter is A (-s A 1)
• second letter is D (-s D 2)

./wordle -s A 1 -s D 2

complex command

This command searches for all words following these characteristics:

• first letter is A (-s A 1)
• the letter D is somewhere in the word (-i D)
• there isn't the letter D at the third position (-x D 3)
• the letter Z is not in this word (-a Z)

./wordle -s A 1 -i D -x D 3 -a Z

real scenario

Lets say you typed "K I T T Y" as your first guess for the wordle. If the K in KITTY is green and the Y is yellow, you can narrow the answer to a single word with this information.
Since K was green and it was the first letter, you can use the flag -s K 1 You can other flags because Y was yellow. The flag -i Y combined with -x Y 5 narrows down the answer to all words with a Y but no Y as the last letter.

Full command: ./wordle -s K 1 -i Y -x Y 5

Command output:

Word validation

--validate

The -v flag can be used in order to check if a word exists.

The -v flag takes in the word to lookup directly from the command

example command:

./wordle -v share

This command would check if the word "share" can be found in any word list.

The program will then display a message for each word list it can be found in.

There is no limit to the amount of flags one can use.

Drawing

For drawing you can use the -d flag It will provide the user with every word they can use in order to make a staircase with valid (green) letters
