I was curious about different algorithms for finding the best guesses for the game Wordle. This is a simple sandbox for testing out algorithms.
The dictionary in use is only 5 letter English words.
Results from the current algorithm:

| 7 | 12 |
| 6 | 148 |
| 5 | 646 |
| 4 | 1145 |
| 3 | 362 |
| 2 | 2 |
Words that took 6 or more guesses: 12
Words that took 6 guesses or fewer: 2303
% of Words that took 6 guesses or fewer: 99.4816414686825
