Wordle Solver is a python based application to help solve Wordle puzzles. Using a pre-defined dictionary, it calculates a score for each word based on the prevalence of letters in that word, suggests the highest scored word (currently arose), and prompts the user for results of playing that word. Then it refines the suggestion based on inputs.

- Make the application stateful so you don't have to reenter all the excluded letters again every time.
- Handle yellow letters from Wordle; those that are present but in the wrong position.
