I've been intermittently poking at my Wordle solver from this weekend. Haven't published the code yet. But in case you're curious,
- Using a parallel search strategy, it solves 2272/2315 (98.1%) of possible puzzles in original-Wordle in 6 tries or less (94.7% in <=5, 83.5% in <=4)
- When solving any single puzzle, most are under 700ms, the worst I've found are around 3s.
- When solving _all_ puzzles, I added some simple memoization to reuse some expensive results, and overall it averages 16ms/puzzle and completes the entire set in 60s.
The set of puzzles it currently can't solve fits in a toot. In fact, they fit in the next toot:
