Guessle is a programmatic Wordle solver built in Bun + TypeScript.
Instead of being a Wordle clone, it acts as a helper tool: suggesting the best next guess based on feedback until the solution is found.

How It Works

  • Starts with a word set of 14,000+ entries
  • Uses programmatic filtering to eliminate invalid words after each guess
  • Implements a best-pick algorithm that prefers words with varied letters
  • Heuristics assign higher scores to words with more unique characters, drastically reducing possibilities
    (sometimes from 14,000 → 200 in a single guess!)

This makes Guessle both a problem-solving tool and a fun experiment in algorithmic word filtering.

Key Features

  • Suggests optimal guesses for Wordle
  • Efficient word set reduction
  • Zero external dependencies (only typescript for dev)
  • Built in just 1–2 hours as a hobby project
  • Includes a word serializer script for:
    • Deduplication
    • Filtering to only 5-letter words
