This wordle solver uses a straightforward strategy: maintain a set of possible answers, try to make a guess that would provide the most information given the current set of possible answers, and repeat until the set only has one word in it. I made this as a challenge with a friend back in February 2022 to see who could make the best wordle solver before having watched 3Blue1Brown's video on this subject.

• The solver relies on a list of possible answers (which is not what a Wordle player would generally have memorized)
• Because it only guesses possible words, it can often make suboptimal guesses when it is very close to getting the word. For example, if the first 4 letters are "STEA_", it will successively guess "STEAK", "STEAL", "STEAM", etc.; a more optimal strategy would guess a word such as "milky", which would in a single step provide information on the presence of K, L, or M.
