Hustle

Overview

Hustle is a terminal-based wordle clone and wordle solver written in rust, and geared towards speedrunning. The solver is inspired by Alex Selby's article The best strategies for Wordle and code, and the game is inspired by the many wordle spin-offs like octordle, hellowordl, and speedle.

Running

Either build the crate with cargo build --release, which should create an executable hustle in target/release. You can then run the binary like in the following examples:

```

play wordle

target/release/hustle play

solve a wordle game

target/release/hustle solve salet.bbbbb.courd target/release/hustle solve salet.bbbgg

solve and output decision tree to file

target/release/hustle solve salet.bbbgg --dt out

solve using specific heuristic data

target/release/hustle solve salet.bbbgg --hdp-in myhdata.csv

solve 6 letter words with hellowordl word bank

target/release/hustle solve salet.bbbgg --gwp data/guesswords2 --awp data/answerwords2

run expensive heuristic data generation

target/release/hustle gen

run expensive heuristic data generation and specify output

target/release/hustle gen --hdp-out1 data1.csv --hdp-out2 data2.csv ```

TODO

• change name
• remove python dependency, do isotonic regression in rust
• make solving constants a cmd option
• make heuristics work for any word bank
• combine word banks into one file
• generally refactor, don't ignore warnings
• combine answer + guess word bank files? (and maybe struct)
• optimize solving
• create benchmarks and unit tests
• dictionary capabilities
• keep statistics and track pb's
• show untested letters?
• show known letters
  • display list below each column?
  • is this cheating?
  • regardless, it should be an option
• single word
  • different layout for single
  • different modes like hard mode
• sync with wordle, duordle, quordle, octordle's, etc daily
• make easily installable
  • first publish crate
  • PKGBUILD, try to publish to AUR?
  • config file (colors, replacement method, etc)
