A Python Wordle solver that utilizes information theory for intelligent word prediction

Wordle Solver using Information Theory

Overview

This project is a Wordle solver that leverages principles from information theory to efficiently guess the hidden word in the Wordle game. Built using Python and scipy, this solver aims to enhance the player's Wordle experience by providing the statistically best words based on the player's guesses. The solver utilizes a non-comprehensive Spanish dictionary to generate word suggestions.

5. Run the solver:

   poetry run python main.py

Usage

1. Launch the program running main.py

2. Enter the words you have tried using the virtual keyboard

3. Click on the screen buttons to select which pattern you obtained in the wordle game so far

4. Click on compute entropies to compute the best words based on the words and patterns entered

5. Click on show entropies to see the best words to guess based on the entropy score of every word

6. Press reset button to try new words and patterns

To-Do List

• Integrate physical keyboard
• Add multiprocessing to speed up initial computation
• Improve light mode appearance
• Write comprehensive documentation
• Build web version
