# Boggler
A solver for the popular word game Boggle.
# Install
```console
pip install boggler
```
To use the script to solve a particular Boggle board configuration, you'll need to do a few things
1. Create `.csv` of the board state like so:
Here is an example `board.csv`. Note the orientation of the board does not matter.
```console
$ cat board.csv
y,e,o,s
r,e,o,v
d,f,e,y
n,m,e,qu
```
2. Find a dictionary wordlist file or create your own
The dictionary wordlist should have each word on a single line like so
```console
$ cat wordlists/wordlist.txt
a
aa
aaa
aah
aahed
aahing
aahs
aal
...
zwiebacks
zwieselite
zwinglian
zwinglianism
zwinglianist
zwitter
zwitterion
zwitterionic
```
3. Split the dictionary wordlist into separate files based on the first letter of each word.
To split an English wordlist the `split_wordlist_alpha.sh` script can be used like so:
```console
$ split_wordlist_alpha.sh my_wordlist.txt .
```
This will generate a series of sub-dictionaries for each letter in the alphabet in the current directory.
```console
$ ls
my_wordlist.txt words_d.txt words_h.txt words_l.txt words_p.txt words_t.txt words_x.txt
words_a.txt words_e.txt words_i.txt words_m.txt words_q.txt words_u.txt words_y.txt
words_b.txt words_f.txt words_j.txt words_n.txt words_r.txt words_v.txt words_z.txt
words_c.txt words_g.txt words_k.txt words_o.txt words_s.txt words_w.txt
```
# Usage
### CLI usage
```console
$ poetry run boggler --help
usage: boggler [-h] [-f FORMAT] [-p] [-s] [-d] board wordlists [max_word_length]
Boggle board game solver
positional arguments:
board Path to board CSV file
wordlists Path to directory of wordlist files. The directory must contain text files of the form words_X.txt where "X" is a character of the
alphabet
max_word_length Maximum length of words searched for on provided board
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f FORMAT, --format FORMAT
Specify alternative output format including [txt, json]
-p, --include-path Include full paths for each word in output
-s, --sort Sort output alphabetically. By default the results are sorted by the starting block position on the board from top-to-bottom, left-
to-right as given in the board file.
-d, --dedup Remove duplicates from word-only output. Note that de-duplication does not preserve the original order of the output, so it is
recommended to also use the sort option when de-duplicating.
```
### Example
```console
$ poetry run boggler ./boggler/boards/b1.csv boggler/wordlists/scrabble_2019/
