Automatic Wordle Solver with Python and Turtle (Source Code Included)

Wordle is a very popular puzzle game. Here is the source code that automatically solves the wordle problems. There isn’t too much trick. This code just randomly picks a valid word. Click on the letters to match the colors on wordle and then hit enter. This program will automatically guess new words until the word has been guessed correctly.
