Following up my Wordle post from a couple of days ago, here is a story about someone using software analysis on Twitter posted guesses to solve Wordle on the very first guess.
It turns out the squares
taking social media by storm contain enough information to correctly guess the daily Wordle on the first attempt each day.
The site includes some examples and has a link to download the code.
Another wordle, this one is comprised of the words I use most when posting to this site.
I downloaded the transcripts of all of Obama and McCain’s speeches from their respective official websites from March 25th, 2008 to the present and then put them each into Wordle.
Wordle gives greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.
I used 51 speeches by McCain and 61 by Obama.
McCain’s site only had transcripts from March 25th to the present and I figured that was plenty of data for my purposes.
