Run ./wordle-finder --help
for more info.
If you'd like to use the GUI frontend, you can launch it by running ./wordle-finder -g
in a terminal or opening the binary from a file explorer. You can type letters into their respective boxes and use the backspace key to delete them. In order to toggle yellow and dark grey letters, you can click on the appropriate key in the keyboard. 1 click changes it to dark grey, click it again to turn it to yellow, and click it a third time to change it back to it's original state. The reset key will reset all of your typed letters and keyboard keys, but keep the currently displayed wordlist. The enter key will submit the current state and return all possible words in the right-hand side column.
I maintain an AUR package for Arch Linux users:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/wordle-finder.git && cd wordle-finder
makepkg -si
For anyone else, or if you'd like the portable version, I provide pre-built binaries on the releases page. I do not test the Windows binary, but it may work.
If you launch the program by double clicking and it immediately closes, or you get an error similar to this: thread 'main' panicked at 'Error when running GUI: WebView2Error(WindowsError(Error { code: 0x80070002, message: The system cannot find the file specified., win32_error: 2 }))'
, then you should try installing the WebView2 Runtime from the Microsoft website.
First, install rust using your package manager or from https://www.rust-lang.org/.
Linux systems with make installed can make the project that way make linux
or make windows-x64
will make the respective binaries and output them in the dist/
folder.
Other systems can build the binary for their system by running cargo build --release
in the repository folder. The resulting binary can be found at ./target/release/wordle-finder
or ./target/release/wordle-finder.exe
if you're on Windows.
