This is a simple solver for the Mag Interactive game WordBrain™. The author is entirely unaffiliated with Mag Interactive, and this program is provided without their knowledge or consent.

The solver expects a text file on its standard input in a specific format. The first lines should be the puzzle tiles, in the obvious format. The final line should be a space-separated list of the lengths of the words in the solution, in order. For example:

    dak
    cse
    iet
    6 3

The solver also expects to find a dictionary in the file words.txt in its current directory, with a simple file format of one word per line. Dictionaries are available in compressed format on GitHub in the wordlists project.

Feeding the example above to BoardWinr with the EOWL dictionary

    python3 boardwinr.py <example.txt

results in the output

    casket ide
    casket die

The words used in official WordBrain™ puzzles are always quite common, so the second solution is the desired one. Tracing the given solution out is left as a manual activity.
