Use regexps to show remaining options for Wordle.
Use the options:
-g | --green "....." A positional regex with the green letters in the right place
position would be "..x..", if x is letter 3.
-g | --green "([a-z][0-5]+)+" A letter in the right place, with the places it
should be. There can be multiple green lists, and
they'll be built into a single list. The positional
green list takes precedence over this list.
-y | --amber "([a-z][0-5]+)+" A letter in the wrong place, with the places it
shouldn't be. There can be multiple amber lists, and
they'll be built into a single list.
-b | --black "abcde" A list of the letters that aren't in the word. There
can be multiple instances of this and they'll be
concatenated into a single set.
-w | --wordle use the current word list from the NYTimes website,
otherwise the system dictionary is used. This adds slightly
to the runtime, as the app has to go to the NYTimes site and
scrape the game page for the wordlist. This list is written
to the local files wordle.words once it is retrieved and
can be reused using the --local default.
-s | --system Use the system dictionary if available. This is expected in
/usr/share/dict/words. This may be slightly different from
the Wordle list and has proper nouns in it. The app makes
a list of all of the five letter words from the system
dict.
-l | --local Use the local copy of the Wordle Words file if it exists.
This is now the default option.
e.g.
$./play_wordle.py -w -b atne -a o3 -b sup -g .o...
