# wordlescorer

## Intro

This node script runs and watches a specific bot account and replies to anyone who asks with a score of their wordle output. The more characters that are solved earlier in the puzzle, the more points you get!

The bot currently runs on [Mastodon](https://botsin.space/@scoremywordle) and [Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/scoremywordle.bsky.social). RIP [Twitter](https://twitter.com/ScoreMyWordle)

### Features

* At-mention [@ScoreMyWordle](https://twitter.com/ScoreMyWordle) in your tweet with a Wordle output (or in a reply), and it'll tweet back a response with a score. (Note: limited support in Communities, you will be quote-tweeted).

* Supports reading the default square emoji wordle output (including the high contrast version of the emojis)

* Supports reading wa11y.co alt text on wordle images if there's no default wordle square emoji output

* Tweets out the top Wordler of the day ranked by score, row solved, then tweet time.

* Tweets out top global stats for the day using the two most popular Wordle numbers.

## Future ideas

### Features

* Improve parsing acessibility text on images that leveraged wa11y.co (any others parsers out there?).

* Provide a score or unique message for interesting pattern results.

* Static website to paste results without needing to tweet.

* More & varied compliments! (Perhaps via OpenAI?)

### Infra

* Refactor DBs into typescript

* Pull out the scoring mechanism so that it can be used independently (e.g. for a static website, bots on other services)
