Wordle is fun, so let's ruin it with computers.

Metrics

This repository assesses two metrics about each algorithm:

  1. Success: how many of the words of the given length and number of guesses can it successfully solve?
  2. Speed: what's the average number of guesses needed over all successful words?

Later, this repository will run multiple trials in order to assign confidence intervals for success and quality for randomized algorithms.

Strategies

This repository is a playground for implementing new solve strategies. Feel free to send a PR with your own (just subclass the Player class)!

Terminology:

  1. Perfect guess: a guess that uses all previous information available, including knowledge about correct positions, unused letters, and used letters

Three word initial guess

This strategy involves deterministically guessing three words that cover a wide variety of vowels and consonants. For example, (lunch, metro, daisy) covers all five vowels and 10 different consonants.

It's pretty likely that with these choices, you will be able to deterministically solve for the word after one more perfect guess. It turns out that with this example, you can solve 96.9% of the time with an average of 4.27 guesses. That's pretty surprising, but also assumes you have computer-like recall of words.

    Best performing 1 word also in best 2 words?

    The best performing word in the 1 word variant of this algorithm will also appear in the best performing pair of words in the 2 word variant

    I have done the search and the answer is no for the actual Wordle lists. The list of possible solutions and list of allowed guesses are in the Javascript for the web page if you want to use the actual Wordle word lists. The best pair does not contain the best performing 1 word ("raise")

    This assumes a "minimax" strategy which guesses the word which minimizes the size of the largest possible resulting partition. That strategy minimizes your worst case. Entropy maximization minimizes the average case which is also a fine strategy.
