Wordle Solver - Interactive Puzzle Helper

I built an interactive Wordle Solver that lives alongside the existing Wordle Starter Word Generator on the site. Instead of just giving you a good first word, this tool walks you through the entire puzzle.

How it works: type your 5-letter guess, tap each tile to cycle through gray, yellow, and green (just like the real game), and the solver instantly narrows down the remaining candidates. It draws from the full 2,314-word Wordle solution list - the same pool the NYT picks daily answers from - and scores them by positional letter frequency to surface the strongest next guess.

A few things I like about how it turned out:

The suggestions update in real-time as you tap tile colors, before you even commit the guess. This lets you experiment - "what if this letter were yellow instead of gray?" - and see how the candidate list changes.

The on-screen keyboard tracks letter states across all your guesses, so you can see at a glance which letters are confirmed, misplaced, or eliminated.

Everything runs client-side in JavaScript. The word list gets embedded in the page on load and all filtering and scoring happens in the browser - no server round trips, no lag.

You can find it at /generators/wordle-solver, or hit the link from the Wordle Starter Word Generator page. It's also listed on the Games page.
