Handle-solver

A simple Python solver for Handle, a Chinese Hanzi variation of Wordle made by Anthony Fu.

Inspired by this video made by 3Blue1Brown: Solving Wordle using information theory.

Chinese idiom frequency estimated from Google Search results.

Future TODOs:

• Remove duplicate idioms after converting traditional/variant Chinese characters to simplified Chinese characters.
• Double-check searches with spelling fix: maybe remove or correct wrongly-spelled idioms
• Check and remove most common non-idiom Chinese words.
• Apply heuristic search to find better guesses with non-idiom Chinese character combinations when not in hard mode.
