BeeSolver: The Un-bee-lievable Spelling Bee Companion

🐝 "Buzzing through the NY Times Spelling Bee puzzles, one letter at a time!"

About This Hive of Activity

Welcome to BeeSolver, where we turn the daunting New York Times Spelling Bee puzzles into a piece of honeycomb cake! This humble little repository is the brainchild of a mere mortal aided by the cosmic brainwaves of ChatGPT, which, let's face it, did about 99% of the heavy lifting. I was mostly here for moral support and occasional witty banter.

BeeSolver is not just a tool; it's a journey through the alphabetic wilderness, a lexical odyssey, a... well, you get the idea. It's pretty neat, and it tries its best, just like all of us.

Features

• Word List Wizardry: Filters through a vast ocean of words, capturing only those precious enough to be 4 to 10 letters long.
• Letter Juggling: Generates maps and lists with such finesse that even a juggler would be jealous.
• Puzzle Solver Extraordinaire: Dives headfirst into letter combinations with the required letter and the optional ones to find that elusive perfect word.

How to Run

1. Clone the Repository: git clone https://github.com/bryanhiestand/BeeSolver.git
2. Navigate to BeeSolver: cd BeeSolver
3. Compile the Code: Assuming you have Go installed, just run go build. Or just go run main.go
4. Run the Program: ./beesolver and follow the on-screen instructions to start your puzzle-solving adventure!

Dependencies

• A brain (preferably functioning)
• Go Language: The whole thing's written in Go because, well, ChatGPT didn't complain when I wanted to overcomplicate this.
• Love for puzzles: Mandatory. No exceptions.

Acknowledgements

• ChatGPT: For being the Einstein behind the operations and tolerating my "supervision".
• Diet Coke: For fueling late-night coding sessions.
• Bees: For the inspiration and for being awesome pollinators.

Disclaimer

• This project is for fun. Or at least a couple of minutes of amused chuckling.
• If you find bugs, feel free to fix them. ChatGPT is brilliant but not infallible, and I'm... well, I didn't actually write any of this code!
• My attached word list is not the same one the NY Times uses. If you find a better one, let me know.
• Cheating is not cool.
• Please solve puzzles responsibly.
