Abstract
In 2022, lots of tweets consisting of emoji squares and a few words describing moods emerge on Twitter. In fact, it is the result of a word guessing game called Wordle. In order to figure out the relationship among words in Wordle, this paper tries to study the feedback data of its players and extract useful information to further improve the design of Wordle as well as other games of its kind. Specifically, from the perspective of word structure, strict and fuzzy matching algorithms were designed to simulate the data distribution of target word, while some common structure features of words were extracted and weighted by word frequency. On one hand, the data distribution of the target word is simulated with reference to the words with the most similar structures. On the other hand, the difficulty of a word in the Wordle game was quantified by analyzing the number of player’s tries, and then the difficulty coefficient of each word was calculated. Combined with the above numerical algorithms, the difficulty of the target word was evaluated objectively by the difficulty of its similar word sequences. Experiments showed that the proposed framework achieved good performance on the Wordle dataset. Our work was awarded Honorable Mention in 2023 Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM).
