A naive way to generate suggestions for the game of wordle

In order to start the script simply run python main.py and follow the screen prompts. The script makes calls to datamuse api. For example, if you pass https://api.datamuse.com/words?sp=t??k to the api, the api will return "all the words that start with t, end in k, and have two letters in between".

• Here is a sample video of how it works.
• The algorithm starts with a bunch of precusrsor suggestions. I just picked whatever word that came to my mind. One doesn't have to follow them. You can simply put whatever word you see as better fit.
• Once you make a suggestion, you then have to give a feedback to the script on how well the suggestions are by specifying something like iicai. c:correct letter, correct spot a:correct letter, wrong spot i:wrong letter
• After the feedback, the algorithm check which of the chars were correct and which ones are at the wrong place. Let's say the suggestion was tesla but the actual word is their so the feedback should be caiia which you can infer based on the colors in the game. Once done, the algorithm then calls the api with the following query. t???? which means that find all the 5 letter words that start with t. Among those, it then searches for the words that are allowed by checking which of the chars are among the forbidden chars. Please check the code for more details.
• It is designed for the hard mode of wordle but it should work with easy mode too.
• Although I tried it with a lot of wordle archive cases and it worked but it might fail at some of the edge cases.
• The algorithm that I used might not be the most efficient ones in terms of big O. It has elements of brute force in it.
