Feature Request: Disable Repeat Letters

[ghost]

I'd love to be able to disable the usage of words with the same letter twice. I never want to get FOGGY or TALLY or OBOES or anything similar.

Was always the reason I never played real Wordle. Feels "cheap" to me in some weird way. Maybe it's just me.

If you remove words with duplicated letters it doesn't leave much of a game...

$ wc ../src/main/assets/Words.txt
 2314  2315 16203 ../src/main/assets/Words.txt

Bill@Cecelia MSYS /d/android/Gurgle/data
$ cat dup.py
f = open('../src/main/assets/Words.txt')
for line in f:
    dup = False
    for c in line:
        if line.find(c) != line.rfind(c):
            dup = True
    if dup:
        print(line, end='')
f.close()

Bill@Cecelia MSYS /d/android/Gurgle/data
$ python dup.py | head
aback
abase
abate
abbey
abbot
abyss
adage
adapt
affix
afoot

Bill@Cecelia MSYS /d/android/Gurgle/data
$ python dup.py | wc
    749     749    4494

So that's 2314 (or 2315) minus 749, or 1565 words left. That's still pretty good! :P

But fair enough if you're not interested in adding an option for it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I see English.txt has a lot more words (10657) than Words.txt.

The English.txt file is possible allowed guesses, the Words.txt file is the list of randomly selected words used for the game. If someone comes up with a good idea, such as sharing games, or a dictionary for another language it gets added. Minority niggles like #72 and this I don't think add anything to the game.
