[App] Wordle Boost

[Chunjee]

Recently my boss showed me this game Wordle and explained that he has an excel sheet to help him with letter choices. I thought ahk could do the same or better and I had fun building this.

I am planning on one or two more features but the basic functionality is done.

v0.3.0

Added a reset button to clear all fields on the form

[Chunjee]

v0.4.0

Added another tab for "Letter Probabilities" which helps visualize how likely each unguessed letter is in the final word.

This works by taking all the words that have not been eliminated; breaking them into individual letters; then counting how common that letter is in the remaining words. This should help with early and mid guesses. Obviously letters like 'z', 'q', and 'x' are a longshot. For example this may help with less obvious choices like guessing between a 'b' and a 'g'

released v0.5.0

Updated how the word suggestions tab is scored. They will now be scored according to the letter probabilities. In my experience so far this has greatly improved the exploratory word suggestions.

If you had a letter in both the blacklist and the other areas, it would both eliminate all possible words and also demand that letter be in the possibilities; you would just end up with zero final words. I changed it so that these letters will be removed from the blacklist automatically. I think this is good because of how the game works it will sometimes highlight a character in black because there isn't a second instance of that letter but you already found the correct position of the letter; which lead to erroneous blacklisting input in this app.
