Wordle Decoder

It guesses your guesses based on all those little square emojis that we now love to share.

Given your Wordle share, the decoder will spit back the five-letter words it thinks you played with some degree of confidence.

Installation

Have Ruby 2.7 or later installed, then run the following at the command line:

$ gem install wordle_decoder

Usage

After installing the gem, run wordle_decoder at the command line like so:

$ wordle_decoder

You'll be prompted to share your wordle. Go ahead and paste in your wordle share text. The share text should look something like this:

Wordle 258 3/6

⬛⬛🟨⬛🟨
⬛🟩🟩🟩⬛
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

You'll then be prompted to confirm the word of the day, or if it couldn't figure it out, you'll be asked for it. After that, it'll try to guess your guesses.

Example

Why?

I wasn't sure if something like this was possible and thought it'd be a fun project to build. It does a pretty good job, at least some of the time... I built an excuse to play Wordle.

Enjoy,
