I made a bot to play Wordle as a weekend project. It works by first playing many random games and after each guess measuring how much the space of possible answers has shrunk. Once trained, it plays by trying to maximize the speed at which it shrinks the answer space. Though this method did result in an acceptable Wordle player, it uses an approach which is somewhat boring. This method is also restricted to playing by the rules of hard mode and because of that often plays suboptimally. In the future I would like to make another bot without the hard mode restriction and using a more interesting algorithm.

A much more detailed write up will be posted here once time allows.
