I recently started playing (another) online word game, Word Grid. This is a fun one where the goal is to be the only person to guess a word based on certain criteria. The criteria are things like "Must contain ee and be no longer than 6 letters long." or "Cannot contain the letters a, ,e, d but must contain i, o, and u".
If you look at word finders they're all aimed at either Scrabble or Wordle. And that's fine. But not super helpful for this game. (For the record, I don't use these but I am aware of them.) So I decided to write one of my own. The logic isn't too difficult, but it was a fun way to kill a few hours on a quiet day. I put it on GitHub and you're welcome to take a look.
While I don't think I'm going to expand it with additional functionality (I could add things that would be helpful for Scrabble like location of the certain letters,) I am planning on using Textual to create a TUI for it, since I have never actually written one of them.
So far this has been a fun exercise. I haven't decided if I'm going to actually put it up on PyPI or not. If you would be interested in seeing it published, let me know.
