So how does it work it out? It puts all 5 letter words into a list. It then starts at the first letter of every word, and puts in order, (by how common it is in that position + how common the letter is when looking at all letters in all positions), and puts them in a new list. It then does this for the second, third, forth and fifth. Lets say the most common letters are for each position is SAAES. If thats not a word. The program carries on. SAAES would equal 5, as it is just the top letter in each position. Then it will look at all letter cominations that will equal 6. If none come up as word, it moves to 7, then 8... and goes on and on until a real 5 letter word is finally found. And that word will be the best starting word for Wordle.
