# NAME
App::Greple::wordle - wordle module for greple
# SYNOPSIS
greple -Mwordle
# VERSION
Version 1.00
# DESCRIPTION
App::Greple::wordle is a greple module that implements the Wordle game.
Answer correctness is checked by regular expression.
This module supports multiple word datasets. Use the **--data** option to
choose different word datasets such as the original Wordle word list
or the New York Times Wordle word list.
Rules are almost the same as the original game, but answers are different.
Use the **--compat** option to get answers compatible with the original game.
# OPTIONS
- **--data**=_dataset_
Choose the word dataset. Default is `NYT`.
Available datasets:
- `ORIGINAL`
The original word list from the initial Wordle game. It contains the
classic Wordle word list.
- `NYT`
The New York Times Wordle word list, which includes words used by NYT
Wordle. It may contain different words than the original. This is
the default dataset.
When option **--compat** is given and the answer for the index is not
included in the dataset, it is fetched from the New York Times web
site. If it cannot be fetched, an answer is selected as described
in **--index**. Fetching requires [IO::Socket::SSL](https://metacpan.org/pod/IO%3A%3ASocket%3A%3ASSL).
Dataset modules are dynamically loaded from `App::Greple::wordle::`
namespace with uppercase dataset name.
- **--series**=#, **-s**#
- **--compat**
Choose a different answer series. Default is 1. Series zero is the same as
the original game and option **--compat** is a shortcut for
**--series=0**. If it is not zero, the answer set is shuffled by
pseudo-random numbers using the series number as an initial seed.
- **--index**=#, **-n**#
Specify the answer index. The default index is calculated from days since
2021/06/19. If the value is negative, you can get yesterday's
question by specifying -1.
If the specified index exceeds the available answer list, the answer
at the index modulo the number of answers is used. A warning message
is shown for series zero, because the answer differs from the
original game.
Answer for option **-s0n0** is `cigar`.
- **--**\[**no-**\]**result**
Show result when successful. Default is true.
- **--**\[**no-**\]**history**
Show previous attempts above the latest one, so that all attempts are
listed together. Default is true.
- **--random**
Generate a random index every time.
- **--trial**=#, **-x**#
Set the trial count. Default is 6.
# COMMANDS
A five-letter word is processed as an answer. Other input is taken
as a command.
- **h**, **hint**
List possible words.
- **u**, **uniq**
List possible words made of unique characters.
- **=**_chars_
If starting with equal (`=`), list words that include all _chars_.
- **!**_chars_
If starting with exclamation mark (`!`), list words that do not
include any of _chars_.
- _regex_
Any other string including a non-alphabetical character will be taken as a
regular expression to filter words.
- **!!**
Recall the word list produced by the last command execution.
These commands can be connected in series. For example, the following command
shows possible words starting with letter `z`.
hint ^z
The next example shows all words that do not include any letter of `audio` and
`rents`, and are made of unique characters.
!audio !rents u
# EXAMPLE
## Basic gameplay
1: solid # try word "solid"
2: panic # try word "panic"
3: hint # show hint
3: !solid !panic =eft uniq # search word exclude(solidpanic) include(eft)
3: wheft # try word "wheft"
4: hint # show hint
4: datum # try word "datum"
5: tardy # try word "tardy"
## Using different datasets
greple -Mwordle --data=NYT # Use NYT Wordle word list (default)
greple -Mwordle --data=ORIGINAL # Use original word list
greple -Mwordle --data=NYT -s0n0 # First word in NYT dataset (cigar)
# BUGS
A character in the wrong position is always colored yellow, even if it
appears in green elsewhere.
