NAME

App::Greple::wordle - wordle module for greple

SYNOPSIS

greple -Mwordle

DESCRIPTION

App::Greple::wordle is a greple module that implements the Wordle game. Answer correctness is checked by regular expression.

This module supports multiple word datasets. Use the --data option to choose different word datasets such as the original Wordle word list or the New York Times Wordle word list.

Rules are almost the same as the original game, but answers are different. Use the --compat option to get answers compatible with the original game.

OPTIONS

• --data=dataset

  Choose the word dataset. Default is ORIGINAL.

  Available datasets:

  • ORIGINAL

    The original word list from the initial Wordle game. This is the default dataset and contains the classic Wordle word list.

  • NYT

    The New York Times Wordle word list, which includes words used by NYT Wordle. This dataset is updated and may contain different words than the original.

  Dataset modules are dynamically loaded from App::Greple::wordle:: namespace with uppercase dataset name.

• --series=#, -s#

• --compat

  Choose a different answer series. Default is 1. Series zero is the same as the original game and option --compat is a shortcut for --series=0. If it is not zero, the answer set is shuffled by pseudo-random numbers using the series number as an initial seed.

• --index=#, -n#

  Specify the answer index. The default index is calculated from days since 2021/06/19. If the value is negative, you can get yesterday's question by specifying -1.

  If the specified index exceeds the available answer list, a random answer will be selected from the dataset with a warning message.

  Answer for option -s0n0 with ORIGINAL dataset is cigar.

• --[no-]result

  Show result when successful. Default is true.

• --random

  Generate a random index every time.

• --trial=#, -x=#

  Set the trial count. Default is 6.

COMMANDS

A five-letter word is processed as an answer. Other input is taken as a command.

• h, hint

  List possible words.

• u, uniq

  List possible words made of unique characters.

• =chars

  If starting with equal (=), list words that include all chars.

• !chars

  If starting with exclamation mark (!), list words that do not include any of chars.

• regex

  Any other string including a non-alphabetical character will be taken as a regular expression to filter words.

• !!

  Recall the word list produced by the last command execution.

These commands can be connected in series. For example, the following command shows possible words starting with letter z.

hint ^z

The next example shows all words that do not include any letter of audio and rents, and are made of unique characters.

!audio !rents u

EXAMPLE

Basic gameplay

1: solid                    # try word "solid"
2: panic                    # try word "panic"
3: hint                     # show hint
3: !solid !panic =eft uniq  # search word exclude(solidpanic) include(eft)
3: wheft                    # try word "wheft"
4: hint                     # show hint
4: datum                    # try word "datum"
5: tardy                    # try word "tardy"

Using different datasets

greple -Mwordle --data=NYT            # Use NYT Wordle word list
greple -Mwordle --data=ORIGINAL       # Use original word list (default)
greple -Mwordle --data=NYT -n0        # First word in NYT dataset (cigar)

BUGS

A character in the wrong position is always colored yellow, even if it appears in green elsewhere.
