# Hangman Helper

This tool allows you to find the answer to a prompt from the 400k most common words in the english language.
Also gives you a list of letters that are your next best guesses

## Usage

If you give the input a string that is 5 letters long such as "hel.." it will only output 5 letter words that start with "hel" and the last two can be any letter in the alphabet. If you also input exclude letters then those will be excluded from the analysis

### Guess

This input will include letter and non-letter inputs to simulate possible letters

#### Example

> Guess: hel.. Exclude:

- HELEN
- HELLO
- HELLS
- HELMS
- HELPS
- HELIX

### Exclude

Exclude will take the letters that you give and remove all words that include any of those letters

#### Example

will exclude any words that include "s" or "i"

> Guess: hel.. Exclude: si

- HELEN
- HELLO

## Roadmap

Currently this feels like a finished product. If you have extra functionality you'd like to request that you want pls pull request.

## Contributing

feel free to view the code and pull request what can be optimized.

I'm also working on making either another repo that given some jumbled letters can quickly finds some words that it could be.
