Wordle Solver

A Python script that automatically solves Wordle puzzles using an entropy-based algorithm to maximize information gain with each guess.

Features

• Suggests optimal guesses based on remaining possibilities.
• Calculates entropy and expected uncertainty reduction for each guess.
• Can solve a single game or run batch simulations to measure performance.
• Provides detailed output for each guess including feedback, entropy, and remaining possibilities.

Requirements

• Python 3.7 or higher.
• A words.py file containing a list of valid 5-letter words. Make sure this file is in the same folder as wordle_solver.py.

Installation

1. Clone the repository or download the files directly:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/wordle-solver.git
cd wordle-solver

## Running the Script
# with random target word
python3 wordle_solver.py
# with a given target word
python3 wordle_solver.py -t crane
# as a batch of 100 words
python3 wordle_solver.py -c 100
