CLI Tools wordle-cli
Overview

Command-line clone of Josh Wardle's WORDLE, inspired by Paul Battley's Ruby version. Features:

  • play against random solutions, or against the once-a-day "official" Wordle solution (with --today)
  • official dictionaries of solutions and valid guesses
  • spoiler-free emoji summaries for sharing

Download and run (./play.py)

Requires Python 3.6 or later, and a terminal which supports colours and ANSI CSI codes, e.g. Windows Terminal.

To get the code:

git clone https://github.com/klipspringr/wordle-cli.git && cd wordle-cli

alternatively, if you don't have git: click Code > Download ZIP on GitHub, extract the ZIP, open a terminal and cd to the extracted folder.

To run on Linux or WSL:

./play.py

To run on Windows in Windows Terminal or PowerShell:

python3 play.py

The Windows command prompt (cmd.exe) is not supported.

Not tested on macOS, but should work — let me know if any problems!

Options

Usage: ./play.py [-h|--help|--today|SOLUTION]

Argument Behaviour
none Use a random solution from the official Wordle dictionary
-h , --help Print this help text and quit
--today Use today's official Wordle solution
SOLUTION Use a given SOLUTION (probably only useful for debugging)

Config file

To tweak the terminal colours and other variables, copy config.ini.defaults to config.ini and uncomment and edit the relevant lines. Colours are specified using ECMA-48 Select Graphic Rendition codes (cheat sheet).

    Notice how SEVEN, the second guess, has the second E highlighted. According to wordle conventions, the first E should have been highlighted because there is only one E in SURER.

    Coincidentally, this bug also exists in the NyTimes wordle.

    'type' object is not subscriptable

    I followed the instructions for running this but I'm not able to. I'm using Python 3.8.10. When I clone the repo and run play.py, here's what I get:

    $ ./play.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./play.py", line 4, in <module>
    import wordle
  File "/home/anewsome/Desktop/1014-7555/wordle-cli/wordle.py", line 12, in <module>
    class Game:
  File "/home/anewsome/Desktop/1014-7555/wordle-cli/wordle.py", line 67, in Game
    def check_guess(guess: str, solution: str) -> list[LetterStates]:
TypeError: 'type' object is not subscriptable

    I opened up the file to see if I could figure out what's really going on but I'm unable to figure it out. If anyone has a workaround, please post it!

  • --today produced the wrong word

    --today produced the wrong word

    For wordle 241 the NYT hosted version of wordle had the solution of AROMA whereas wordle-cli produced AGORA.

    Looking at the solutions.txt data file we see that AGORA is just before AROMA. Perhaps it was added to the solutions text incorrectly here or maybe it has been removed from the solutions list by NYT?:

    ~/code/wordle-cli on branch main$ head -n 243 data/solutions.txt | tail -n7
PAUSE
ULCER
ULTRA
ROBIN
CYNIC
AGORA
AROMA

    The solutions.txt file should be updated otherwise future days will be off by one in perpetuity.

  • Using argparse module to parse commandline arguments

    Using argparse module to parse commandline arguments

    Hi! nice side project :)

    I've created this PR to introduce the usage of the built-in argparse module to handle commandline arguments instead of manually parsing sys.argv.

    I also fixed a small bug in the current implementation that allowed the usage of --solution flag to create a game with a non-guessable solution (for example, you could create a game using abcde as a solution, but could never guess it),
