• One of the most popular puzzles floating about online is "Wordle" which is a general challenge to figure out a 5 letter word using only 6 guesses. Bragging rights among your friends to solve it the fastest. The solution being shown here is using Regular Expressions and a simple solution to build out a Dynamic loop to reject all the possibilities from a 12,500 Word array to identify the most likely candidates. This solution has been successfully tested against 3 Wordle sites (US, UK and Canada) as well as Quordle (A very challenging combination of four Wordles to solve Giant 12,500 word array not supplied. You must assemble that yourself ;)
