@cliffle wordle "hard mode" requires you to satisfy known constraints on each guess, and there's a subtle problem where if you don't do some lookahead, you can get stuck with 4 letters correct and too many possibilities for the 5th letter

@gray17 From the description of hard mode I just found online, I think switching this solver between normal and hard is ~1 line of code. (Just changes whether it can pull choices out of its arse, or whether it has to work with the non-eliminated option set per the current green/yellow tiles.)
