The concept is\npretty simple; given 6 optional letters and 1 required one, create as many words\nusing only these letters as you can.\n\n## Why?\n\nI got pretty into these puzzles during COVID-19 quarantine. After \"finishing\" one,\nI was always curious how many solutions I had missed — turns out, usually way\nmore than I expected. I assumed there would be a trivial way to solve them\nautomatically \u0026 efficiently, but the more I thought about it the more I realized\nthere probably wasn't. I haven't checked out any other solutions/solvers if they\nexist, this is just my attempt to learn through building.\n\n## How?\n\nThere are three entry points to the codebase:\n\n- `bin/build-lookup-table.ts`\n  - Ingests `data/words` and compiles a data structure to make word lookups more\n    efficient; writes this to `static/words.lookup.json`.\n- `bin/find-words.ts \u003coptional letters\u003e \u003crequired letter\u003e`\n  - A CLI interface for finding words; e.g. `bin/find-words.ts abcdef g`\n- `src/web.ts`\n  - A web frontend for finding words.\n\n## Tools\n\n- `bin/dev` - start local dev server, watching for changes\n- `bin/test [filename]` - run one or all `tape` test suites\n- `bin/build` - compile TS and static assets to `docs/`\n- `bin/publish` - release new changes to Github Pages\n\n## Caveats\n\nI don't use the same word list as the NYT, because I don't have theirs! A\ncloser-match wordlist would be a very appreciated contribution.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdylanpyle%2Fbeeline","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdylanpyle%2Fbeeline","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdylanpyle%2Fbeeline/lists"}
