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.
