About

This is a Rust/WASM and JavaScript applet that is intended to provide the odds of guessing the correct wordle puzzle answer based on the correct and found letters.

Directions

To setup the program to run, I pull the word lists from the wordle site. The answer list gets placed into a json file in the list_utils directory called from_nyt.json. The file is formatted like below:

{
    "answers":[
        "word",
        "word",
        "word"
    ]
}

Next the python program in list_utils, get_wordfreq_score.py, is run against the file and provides a word frequency score to each word. This gets output to words.json. The build.rs file will automatically parse this to words.rs.

Requirements

I use this library for the word frequency https://github.com/rspeer/wordfreq
