So yeah. I tried to cheat but because my regex is so rusty the result was so abysmal I'm not even gonna post the "result" even though I added a lookup into an online library given me a json output along the lines of:

Code:
[2024-09-16 00:31:13.399] [info] [main.cpp:137] [main.cpp][137]: WORD: [RECCE]: DEFINITION: 
[

    ],

    [
        {"partOfSpeech":"noun","definitions":[{"definition":"Reconnaissance.", "synonyms":[], "antonyms":[]}
    ], 
    "synonyms":[], "antonyms":[]},

        [
            {"definition":"Reconnoitre.", "synonyms":[], "antonyms":[]}
        ],
        "synonyms":["recon"],"antonyms":[]},
        {
            "partOfSpeech":"adjective","definitions":
                [
                    {"definition":"Relating to reconnaissance.",
                        "synonyms":[],
                        "antonyms":[]
                    }
                ],
                "synonyms":[],
                "antonyms":[]
        }
    ],
    "license":{"name":"CC BY-SA 3.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0"},"sourceUrls":["https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/recce"]}]].

This would probably have made sense if it was the correct word. So now, this is no longer about mere words. I don't what's it's about but it's starting to get personal! o0)

Back to basics. Works much better when I don’t overthink it.

There should be a sensor that detects and prevents me from playing immediately after a 4 hour nap. With such a simple scenario after my first word was played, I decided to solve the puzzle in my head.

Screenshot from 2024-09-17 14-18-25.png

After 3rd guess I tried cheating again like this:

Code:
sbrothy@PAULINE:~/x2$ ./main -l 5 '^[ABCEFGHJMNOPQTUVXW]{1}EA[ABCEFGHJMNOPQTUVXW]{1}T$' -w csw.txt
[2024-09-17 14:20:05.436] [info] [main.cpp:170] [main.cpp][170]: MATCH: [BEAUT]
[2024-09-17 14:20:05.438] [info] [main.cpp:170] [main.cpp][170]: MATCH: [MEANT]
[2024-09-17 14:20:05.438] [info] [main.cpp:170] [main.cpp][170]: MATCH: [BEAUT]
sbrothy@PAULINE:~/x2$

After trying MEANT I was down to this:

Code:
sbrothy@PAULINE:~/x2$ ./main -l 5 '^[ABCEFGHJOPQTUVXW]{1}EA[ABCEFGHJOPQTUVXW]{1}T$' -w csw.txt
[2024-09-17 14:21:33.112] [info] [main.cpp:170] [main.cpp][170]: MATCH: [BEAUT]
sbrothy@PAULINE:~/x2$

So, a lot of work for not very much. It's a good thing I like goofing around with this stuff.

EDIT: And I see I still have an error with std::set... ah well...

Fortunately for me, when I discovered the solution board going blank, I resorted to my post game online analysis tool, which contained this "not a word". (I concur, though Merriam-Webster does list it.)
I wonder about the average score for this one
Averages:
World: 4.110
PF: 4.400

Late entry: It's also listed in my somewhat dusty 1993, 13¼ lb hardcopy Merriam-Websters, so it's not a new thing. It does state that it's slang though.

Found this today, and could not stop laughing.
Reddit has a thing which is basically identical to PF's Wordle thread, but filled with scores of unfiltered comments.

My two favorites:

#1:
"If this is a spoiler delete but who the heck chose today’s word, a used car salesman?"



#2


"
🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩 BEAST (1)
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 BEAUT

This is just a karmic bad joke! I mean... really??

Dag nabbit! Had I not played this in self imposed hard mode, and with a minor bit of luck, I could have had this in 3.
