If the numbers are to be believed, that's a 1.3kW continuous draw. It's almost certainly a full-on modern PC with dual head graphics running Windows.

Interestingly, my program which attempts to select the word which will maximise eliminations from the remaining set always picks `aster` as the first guess.

Fascinatingly today's was a toughie for my solver too - I mean, it got it, but it took 6 goes, just like I did. Hrmph.

Hrm, today's was hard by hand, but my solver got it in 3 -- Wordle 204 3/6

Heh, my solver looks for the word most likely to eliminate as much as possible while still meeting the constraints already learned. It is super hacky but was amusing to write last night :D

I made some more fun by writing an alternative scoring algorithm for deciding which word to try. Have run out of fun again.

Everyone else: I did wordle 'n' and it took me x guesses.
me: Pfeh, I'mma write a solver
me: oh, the fun is gone now.

Did you foolishly not include a tl;dr for all those who will read the title and the first paragraph, maybe the second, and then go off on one rather than read the rest?

I'd go further and say that a spec which doesn't have clear executable tests is also inadequate. And by executable tests I'm more thinking gherkin style acceptance tests than unit tests.

I agree. I think rust has a long way to go before it'll be able to sit at the kernel level for more than small amounts. Though shells etc are already on the way
