Hustle

Overview

Hustle is a terminal-based wordle clone and wordle solver written in rust, 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.

Installation

Hustle can be easily installed with cargo on linux: $ cargo install hustle Then — if you haven't already — add ~/.cargo/bin to your PATH in your shell profile.

Here are some examples of how to use hustle: ```

play wordle

$ hustle play

$ hustle solve trace.gybbb --dt out

$ hustle solve salet.bbbgg --wbp data/bank2.csv

run expensive heuristic data generation with top 10 words

$ hustle gen 10

run expensive heuristic data generation and specify output

$ hustle gen 10 --hdp-out1 data1.csv --hdp-out2 data2.csv ```

TODO

• make heuristics work for any word bank
• generally refactor, don't ignore warnings
• 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 more easily installable
  • PKGBUILD, try to publish to AUR?
  • config file (colors, replacement method, etc)
