Three ways to solve a puzzle using Python

Python developer Tom Lockwood has written code that helps solve the Wordle puzzle 99.4% of the time. The program retrieves a list of words from the dictionary and determines the frequency of letters at different positions. Depending on that, you choose a word with new green letters in it and shorten the target list – five-letter words that might, in theory, fit. Then you repeat the procedure again.

There is another way to pass Wordle in Python. It is based on frequency analysis, but in this case we do not analyze the whole dictionary, but only the words of five letters.

The third way takes into account the peculiarities of natural languages. Such a system divides the dictionary into several conditional categories – sublists, and selects words that can be quickly navigated through these subsets.

Lifecycles without the code and math.
If you do not code, but want to quickly find a solution and post it on your page, you can use these tips (important: they are relevant for the English version).

First try:

Start with adieu (this word has already become a meme);
If you don’t want to start with adieu – avoid words with “X”, “Q” and “Z”;
In the first assumption, don’t use words with repetitive letters.

Second attempt:

Move the yellow letters around;
Try not to use gray letters a second time.
All other attempts:

Use the elimination method;
Do not use the “words of the day” of the last few days – it is unlikely that they will be the correct answer again.
