Requires:

• .NET 7

To run:

• cd WordleSolver
• dotnet run --configuration Release

Currently configured to find the three optimal starting words for Quordle.

• given all possible quordle words find all three word combinations (including the seedword) that have no letters in common.
• apply the all combinations to the quordle list to find the combination that results in the lowest average remaining words left.
• In order to speed things up a seed word (predefined one of the three optimal starting words) is required.
  • the default seedword is roate
  • to manually specify a seedword, add the argument <seedword> to the command line, where <seedword> is a comma delimited list of seedwords to use.
    • ex: dotnet run --configuration Release slate,roate,raise
