Pridel: Wordle

This is a terminal version of Wordle, originally designed for practice, I then added the "Primel" variant of 5-digit primes, and then a "Britle" variant based on the British National Corpus (which has yet to be filtered to actual words). It still gives the "tweetable" printout at the end, though it's marked as Pridel to differentiate itself from normal Wordle, which was from when I first made the Primel mode part of it and wanted to suggest the blending of the two. I've also added the NYT Wordle under the "Nordle" mode, for practicing with the "official" wordset.

I'll use this for random tests, and naturally it's for me to play with. An example is the "Britle" mode of British English (so "colour" etc). Another is the sim3b1b.py file, which is there for me to experiment with computing the optimal strategies for Britle, mostly as a curiosity at the intersection between information theory and linguistics.

primel.py is mostly intended for interactive usage during Primel play, given that most people (including myself) don't have a "vocabulary" of primes. I'm not going to make a version for normal Wordle or such, because that defeats the point of the game, in my opinion.

Requirements

• If wanting to use sim3b1b.py do pip install -r requirements-3b1b.txt

  • based on 3b1b's code
  • regenerate with uv pip compile pyproject.toml --extra 3b1b -o requirements-3b1b.txt
