Assume this file is called hints.txt. Re-run wordle-suggest and point it
to this file to get a new set of suggestions:
$ wordle-suggest -f ./hints.txt
solar
sugar
# ...
Continue adding results to the hints file and re-running wordle-suggest
until you've solved the puzzle!
See wordle-suggest -h for more usage options.
Implementation
The words are stored in a priority queue (a BinaryHeap specifically), based
on the frequency of each letter in its specific position compared to the entire
word list (words/all.txt), as well as its presence in a list
of common words (words/common.txt). So the returned words
are sorted by their probability of having their letters in the correct
positions, with common words appearing first.
