Usage

To play wordle and its clones:

./wordle

The program will provide guesses. Play them manually on the website and enter the response as a five-letter string such as "BGYGB" (B-Black, G-Green, Y-Yellow)

The multi-board wordle clones can be played similarly, such as

./dordle

To play an arbitrary number of simultaneous wordle boards with an arbirary number of attempts, you can try

./wordle -b 4 -a 13

To play nerdle:

Play nerdle the same way with ./nerdle, except the colours are now B-Black, G-Green, R-Red.

To play crosswordle:

To play crosswordle with ./crosswordle, provide the responses from top to bottom such as BYBBB YBBGB … GGGGG followed by the actual word. See data/crosswordle_sample.in for an example

To play squareword

Play with ./squareword. For each row, give the response as a five-letter string with G-Green and B-Black, followed by another string of remaining characters on the right (if empty, give -)
