--today produced the wrong word #7

Open o-nikolas opened 2 years ago

o-nikolas commented 2 years ago

For wordle 241 the NYT hosted version of wordle had the solution of AROMA whereas wordle-cli produced AGORA.

Looking at the solutions.txt data file we see that AGORA is just before AROMA. Perhaps it was added to the solutions text incorrectly here or maybe it has been removed from the solutions list by NYT?:

~/code/wordle-cli on branch main$ head -n 243 data/solutions.txt | tail -n7
PAUSE
ULCER
ULTRA
ROBIN
CYNIC
AGORA
AROMA

The solutions.txt file should be updated otherwise future days will be off by one in perpetuity.

The NYT has edited the lists of solutions and guesses.

I think I will update the word lists to use the NYT version.

Yupp, agreed!

klipspringr commented 2 years ago

Should be fixed!

o-nikolas commented 2 years ago

I tested --today and it's now working as expected! Fast turn around, nice work :)

Spoiler alert for Wordle 284

Click for comment The NYT Wordle solution is STOVE whereas the wordle-cli solution is HARRY. More NYT word list twiddling perhaps.

Now updated to the latest NYT word lists. They've removed some solutions (without adding new ones in-place - so all following days are also changed), and (surprisingly?) added various slurs back to the allowed-guesses list.

Think I'll leave this issue open to capture future word list changes. Thanks for reporting today's change, @Chiny91 !

Chiny91 commented 2 years ago

It's happened again, presumably the NYT word list has changed again.

For me, when the word is off by only one day, it's usually because I failed to account for time zones.

But today there is indeed a change, reported here: New York Times swaps out Wordle word after Supreme Court leak

Newest lists are in Pull Request #9.

Warning: Inevitable spoilers in diffs.

Now up to date again, thanks to @nbowen

I last updated 10 May 22.

In the last few days, or maybe longer, whilst the wordle-cli solution remains correct, after each guess the number of remaining guesses is wrong. For example on 7 Nov 22, after 2 guesses I was advised there was one remaining guess (possibility) but I could see several legitimate word guesses.

Still a good app.
