Provides solutions to the New York Times "spelling bee" game.

This is just a silly project I hacked together one night when I was too stupid to figure out the word properly. It's very simple and doesn't have a ton of thought put into it.

Build the binary with make and run ./beesolver to view the help:

NAME:
   beesolver

USAGE:
    [global options] command [command options] [arguments...]

COMMANDS:
   help, h  Shows a list of commands or help for one command

GLOBAL OPTIONS:
   -l value        The 6 letters of the puzzle
   --middle value  the middle, required letter
   --dict value    path to the words list (default: "/usr/share/dict/words")
   --help, -h      show help

Example:

./bsolve --middle o --letters d,m,t,r,y,i

This probably only works on Linux, because by default it tries to read a "dictionary" of words from /usr/share/dict/words. It might work on a Mac, but otherwise, an alternative word list can be provided via the --dict argument. There is a mega word list provided in this repository that I got from https://github.com/dwyl/english-words that can be used for this purpose:

./bsolve --middle o --dict ./words_alpha.txt --letters d,m,t,r,y,i
