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 installed using the PKGBUILD with makepkg and pacman on Arch Linux: ``` $ makepkg --clean PKGBUILD

tarball may be named something else

$ sudo pacman -U hustle-1.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst ```

TODO

• command help
  • better error messages
  • create man pages
  • create --help command
• make heuristics work for any word bank
• multiple heuristic options? (linear reg, precomputed, etc)
• 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
• create github releases?
• make more easily installable
  • try to publish to AUR?
  • create packages for more distros
  • config file (colors, replacement method, etc)
