It may either help or reduce satisfaction.\nUse at your own risk ;-)\n\n\n# Usage\n\n```\nUsage: ./dewordle.sh POSITIONS [ALPHABET [LETTERS]]\n\nPOSITIONS -- pattern of letters with positions we are sure\nALPHABET -- set of possible letters to check; default is: a-z\nLETTERS -- confirmed letters, with unknown positions; default empty\n\nNOTE: For POSITION, a regular expression is expected with dots (.)\n      representing any character; for first run just try: .....\n\nNOTE: For ALPHABET, a negative set can be given, e.g. ^abc means\n      that none of letters a, b or c should be part of the string.\n```\n\n\n## Example\n\nFind a word that has `o` as second letter and `l` as fourth letter,\ncontaining letters `a` and `g` at some positions, but for sure\nno `p`, `q` and `r` anywhere.\n\n```\n./dewordle.sh .o.l. ^pqr ag\n```\n\n\n## Using own dictionary\n\nBy default, the script looks for `~/.dewordle-words` file in system.\n\nIf this file is not present, it downloads the example file from [2].\n\nAlternatively, one may use their own dictionary file. The expected\nformat should match standard Unix `words` file [3], i.e. one word\nin each line.\n\nHaving the `wordlist` or `words` package installed, the following\nsymbolic link should work:\n\n```\nln -s /usr/share/dict/words ~/.dewordle-words\n```\n\n\n# Acknowledgments\n\nThe example file URL [2] was taken from Wikipedia [3].\n\n[1] https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/\n\n[2] https://users.cs.duke.edu/~ola/ap/linuxwords\n\n[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Words_(Unix)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsdatko%2Fdewordle","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsdatko%2Fdewordle","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsdatko%2Fdewordle/lists"}
