Word guesser game

The word guesser game is built on the same idea as MasterMind.

Basic setup

• Follow the instructions in the template repo

Creating the word lists

• use identical lists for valid guesses and the word-of-the-day list
• use a pipe like the following (adapt to your language) to create the lists:

cat ../../main/words/lists/smj/2021-11-03_smj_lemma.freq | # use an existing lemma list if available grep -v ' Prop'  | # Remove proper nounds - check the tag tr -s ' '   | # squeeze spaces (check output of previous command) cut -d' ' -f3  | # use the third field for further processing grep -v -e '[-é\ /.]' -e '[A-Z]' -e '[0-9]' | # Remove lines containing various noise letters grep '^......$'  | # Extract words only 6 letters long - adjust if needed hfst-lookup -q lang-smj/src/fst/analyser-gt-norm.hfstol | # analyse all extracted lemmas grep -v 'inf$'  | # Remove unrecognised lemmas grep -v '^$' | cut -f1 | uniq | # clean up the analysis output sort -R  # randomise the list of words

Alternatively, you can grab the list of lemmas directly from the lexc files:

./giella-core/scripts/extract-lemmas.sh \ lang-sje/src/fst/morphology/stems/*lexc | # Extract all lemmas from lexc grep '^......$'  | # Grep all and only words with correct length grep -v -e '[A-ZÁÆØÅÄÖ]' -e '\.' -e '[0-9]' | # Grep away problem strings sort -u | sort -R  # clean and randomise
