Darn it. I had those two words lined up internally but of course I picked the wrong one initially.

EDIT: Also, statistically, I’d wager that S is more common than P, although that might just be because of the plural use of S in English

Didn't you forget a letter in the second guess, or is it some kind of devious MO I don’t understand? :)

Ah. So, it was a question of you being devious and crazy prepared. :cool:

I have now solved Wordle 500 days in a row.

Played it even more days in a row but there was that fateful day 501 days ago when I managed to misspell the word I knew was the solution on guess 6 … unfortunately the misspelling was also a word … 😭

I have no idea why this was so hard for me. Once I found the solution it seemed so obvious!

EDIT: It might be relevant that I only found it after arriving home and gearing down.

Went into some kinda nerdy overdrive angry over the day’s abysmal result. I had an old IRC wordguess program lying around and cannabalized it to write this:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/wordlecheater/

I'm not really sure if it's publicly available as I cannot find the log out button on sourceforge. It was written as a challenge to myself and for the sheer fun of it. I'm not gonna use it to cheat. I mean, what would be the point?

The synopsis goes like:
Code:
./main [-l n] wordfile regex

as in (Example run for wordle (Sep. 6, 2024, "RERUN") "?er??":):

Code:
./main -l 5 '^([QWRUPFLZXVNM]{1})ER([QWRUPFLZXVNM]{2})$' csw.txt

Oh, forgot the output:

Screenshot from 2024-09-08 22-48-34.png

I know claimed I "geared down" but, yeah, I do stuff like this for fun. You don't get to judge me!

EDIT: Output got boring without all the garish color from the SPDLOG console color sink.



:biggrin:
