Input Format Guide

WordleSharp uses a specific format to represent Wordle feedback:

Basic Input Format

• Enter words followed by numbers to indicate letter status:
  • 0 = Gray (letter not in word - but you can omit this, see below)
  • 1 = Yellow (correct letter, wrong position)
  • 2 = Green (correct letter, correct position)

Examples

# If you guessed "arose" and got: A(gray), R(yellow), O(gray), S(green), E(gray)
arose
a0r1o0s2e0

# The system automatically adds '0' to letters without specifiers, so this is equivalent:
ar1os2e

Special Input Patterns

Answer Verification

# Check if a word is in the remaining possible solutions
word?
# Returns: True/False

Known Answer Mode

# Score a guess against a known answer (for analysis)
guess,answer
# Example: arose,about

Correct Answer Declaration

# Mark a word as the correct final answer
word!
# Example: about!

Available Cmdlets

Start-WordleAnalysis

Interactive analysis mode for solving Wordle puzzles step-by-step.

Start-WordleAnalysis -CountOnly
# Starts the analysis engine with the default solving calculator, but doesn't tell you what word to play next, only how many words are left.
# This is the best mode for analysing your play as you play it.

Start-Autoplay

Automated solving of Wordle puzzles.

Start-Autoplay -StartWord "arose" -Answer "about" -Calculator CountReduction

Get-BestStartWord

Find optimal starting words for given answers.

Get-BestStartWord -Answer "about"

Get-WordScore

"Scores" a given word given an answer using the x[0|1|2] format

Get-WordScore -Word "arose" -Answer "about"

Get-WordsContainingLetter

Find words containing specific letters.

Get-WordsContainingLetter -Letter "aeiou"

Calculator Types

Choose between different solving algorithms for calculating the next best word:

• CountReduction : Minimizes remaining word count (default - slower)
• LetterFrequency : Prioritizes common letters (faster - but less optimal)

Specify with the -Calculator parameter:

Start-WordleAnalysis -Calculator CountReduction
Start-Autoplay -Calculator LetterFrequency -StartWord "arose" -Answer "about"

Performance Options

Control parallel processing for faster calculations:

Start-WordleAnalysis -MaxDegreeOfParallelism 4
# This will default to the number of cores available on the running machine if not specified.
# Note that this parameter only affects the "CountReduction" calculator.
