Random tools/scripts I make for myself
This is a script I use to help me figure out what words are possible given what I already know from previous guesses.
It depends on nltk.corpus's words package, which requires you to:
- Install nltk
- Run the following in
python:nltk.download('words')
It accepts a 3-line input.txt containing the following:
- Line 1: Known letters in known places (aka "green" letters)
- Line 2: Known letters in unknown places (aka "yellow" letters)
- Line 3: Known absent letters (aka "black" or "grey" letters)
The first two lines include zero-based indices for the respective letters, and any of the three lines can be empty. For example:
| Guess | Letter (color) | Letter (color) | Letter (color) | Letter (color) | Letter (color) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A (black/grey) | U (black/grey) | D (black/grey) | I (green) | O (black/grey) |
| 2 | S (black/grey) | T (black/grey) | R (black/grey) | I (green) | P (yellow) |
The contents of input.txt would be as follows:
i3
p4
audostr
Which would result in this output:
pinic
pilin
pixie
pylic
pyxie
pekin
lipin
These are all of the 5-letter words that meet the constraints of what we already know about the word. In this case, the word ended up being pixie, which was the 3rd word in our output.
