pip install --pre toga or python3 -m pip install --pre toga

python3 gui.py

Just input your word and the corresponding colors and the program will solve it for you.

Updated demonstration with a particularly difficult case (and me trying to explain what the program actually does):

A suckless, fast, and ultra-optimized C implementation with a Text User Interface (TUI).

• GCC or compatible C compiler
• ncurses library
• make

On Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libncurses-dev

On macOS:

brew install ncurses

make

Edit config.h to customize solver parameters:

• BBQ: M-estimate smoothing parameter (default: 1.5)
• KETCHUP: Position probability weight (default: 1.56)
• MAYONNAISE: Letter frequency weight (default: 0.84)

These parameters are tuned for optimal word guessing performance.

./wordle_solver

1. Use arrow keys to navigate between letter positions
2. Type letters directly to fill in your guess
3. Press Space to cycle through colors (Grey -> Yellow -> Green)
4. Press Enter to submit the current row and get a new suggestion
5. Press Q to quit

The program will suggest the most probable word based on your input and display the number of remaining possible words.

The C version is highly optimized with:

• O3 compiler optimizations
• Native CPU architecture optimizations
• Efficient probability calculations
• Fast word filtering algorithms
• Minimal memory footprint (~500KB binary)

This implementation follows suckless principles:

• Single source file implementation
• Configuration through header file (config.h)
• No external dependencies except ncurses and standard library
• Simple, readable code
• Fast and efficient
