Utilities for solving the Boggle word game.
Project description
Boggler
A solver for the popular word game Boggle.
Install
pip install boggler
OR
git clone https://github.com/cblanken/boggler.git
To use the script to solve a particular Boggle board configuration, you'll need to do a few things
-
Create
.csvof the board state like so:Here is an example
board.csv. Note the orientation of the board does not matter.$ cat board.csv y,e,o,s r,e,o,v d,f,e,y n,m,e,qu
-
Find a dictionary wordlist file or create your own
The dictionary wordlist should have each word on a single line like so
$ cat wordlists/wordlist.txt a aa aaa aah aahed aahing aahs aal ... zwiebacks zwieselite zwinglian zwinglianism zwinglianist zwitter zwitterion zwitterionic
-
Split the dictionary wordlist into separate files based on the first letter of each word.
To split an English wordlist the
split_wordlist_alpha.shscript can be used like so:$ split_wordlist_alpha.sh my_wordlist.txt .
This will generate a series of sub-dictionaries for each letter in the alphabet in the current directory.
$ ls my_wordlist.txt words_d.txt words_h.txt words_l.txt words_p.txt words_t.txt words_x.txt words_a.txt words_e.txt words_i.txt words_m.txt words_q.txt words_u.txt words_y.txt words_b.txt words_f.txt words_j.txt words_n.txt words_r.txt words_v.txt words_z.txt words_c.txt words_g.txt words_k.txt words_o.txt words_s.txt words_w.txt
Usage
$ python boggler.py
Usage: python3 boggler.py <BOARD_FILE> <WORDLISTS_DIR> [MAX_WORD_LENGTH]
$ python boggler.py board.csv wordlists/ 15
