Solve the Wordle game using Cypress test

Note: the game has recently changed its implementation, rendering many specs in need of major changes. I have kept only the hint spec up-to-date, skipping the rest of the tests.

• solve.js shows a real recursive solution to the Wordle game, watch the video "Solve Wordle Game For Real Using Cypress".
• solve-hard-mode.js shows how to solve Wordle in Hard mode by optimizing our word picks, watch the video "Solve Wordle In Hard Mode".
• spec.js takes a shortcut and looks up the solution in the game state object the application saves in the local storage. Watch the video "Solve Wordle Game Using Cypress".
• control-the-date.js overwrites the current date using cy.clock command and plays the Wordle from other dates. Watch the video "Play Wordle From Any Date Using cy.clock".
• play-every-day.js sets synthetic Date in each test to accumulate a long winning streak playing every word from Jan 1st to Jan 17th 2022. Find the recording here.
• colors.js plays the game using color accessible mode using the dark theme. Saves the screenshot of the solution in the "cypress/screenshots" folder.
• wordlist-data-session.js uses cypress-data-session plugin to download and keep the word list array cached in memory. Watch the video "Use cypress-data-session To Store The Word List".
• email-hint.js hides all letters in the solution but one and emails the screenshot of the solved puzzle daily to myself. Watch the video "Generate A Daily Wordle Hint Email With Screenshot".
• start.js lets the user provide the starting word. You can trigger this spec from the GitHub Actions UI using the workflow start.yml.
• vue-wordle/spec.js plays a version of Wordle implemented in yyx990803/vue-wordle interacting via page objects.
• a-greener-wordle/spec.js solves the "Greener Wordle" version hosted at https://agreenerworldle.org/.

You can find several videos explaining how to play and solve Wordle using Cypress in my playlist Cypress Wordle.
