Hi Ben,

I stumbled onto your project when trying to do wordle (just the game, no ai involved) for myself with my limited (and not pythonic in any way) coding skills.
The issue I'm raising is when you have the same letter occurring twice in a word you have guessed.
I was browsing for a solution to the problem when I came across your code.

Let's say the correct word is 'ready' and your guess is 'verse' the output would be 'Y' 'G' 'B' 'B' 'Y'.
So, that last 'Y' for the second e should be a 'B', as there are not two e's in 'ready'.

There should be some universal way of checking if a letter occurs twice (or more) either in the word or in the guess.

Have tried out your interesting code and adapted it to Swedish. Getting the following error when trying 'Game Assist' mode:

GAME ASSIST ACTIVATED

Traceback (most recent call last):

game = Wordle(
File "/Users/Bengt/wordle_solver-main/wordle.py", line 8, in init
for l in word:
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

There are several unusable words in the dictionary.
NY Times have published a list:

thanks!

The medium page states that there are 15917 words

Our word bank starts with 15917 words giving us an initial probability of only 0.0063%

but the data/words.csv file has 2311. Is the medium page out of date?
