Wordle Machine (and Wordle Game) (in commandline)

My implementation of the Wordle game (inspired by https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/) and my interactive solving machine for the Wordle game. The strategy is originated from this blog post Best Wordle Strategy — Explore or Exploit and I'm still working on some optimization over that.

How to run?

git clone https://github.com/KevinXuxuxu/wordle_machine.git
cd wordle_machine

# need python 3
# ! for correct letter at correct position
# ? for correct letter at wrong position
# _ for wrong letter
