#n pre-order the list based on best guesses. idk how to do this some informaiton theory thing *waves hands*
Text
remember when wordle came out and every programmer and their mother was making algorithms to automate guessing it. those were good times
#ok only i remember because in 2022 i basically lived in the computer lab.#it's actually kind of an interesting algorithm#mmn#i think its a process of elimination thing#ok structures - list of all possible 5-letter words - so list of string.. very possibly represented as list of 5-idx char arrays#n pre-order the list based on best guesses. idk how to do this some informaiton theory thing *waves hands*#i just dont want to go thru the hassle of trying to find the statistical best guess every round too. i'm 100% sure it's possible#-for someone smarter than me#we'll make it start with the statistically best word. uhh what was it.#'CRANE' < i know 3b1b put out another video correcting but im too lazy to look it up#oh ok i'll use penis. 'PENIS'#then.. for each guess.. get info on what possible letters r there n in what positions.. n thenbased on that iterate thru the original list#-and create a copy of it BUT JUST THE WORDS THAT STILL WORK - throw out the bad ones#uhh yeah go thru that list n pick the first valid word from that list#repeat until the game spits out 5 green boxes#yah#yap#ok i go back to drawing
