Wordle Buster -- word search and statistics explorer

Usage: word ?-wordwidth n? ?word\_file?
Options:
  -wordwidth n   Use words with n characters (default 5)
  word_file      A file containing a list of words.  Only
                 words of the proper length will be used.
                 (The default list is Wordle's official list)

This tool ("game"?) presents a display similar to Wordle. Words can be entered, but you must score the words manually. A second window displays 3 tables showing the frequency counts of letters in the word list, minus any words that don't match the scored word(s). There is a list of all letters and counts, and a list of letters & counts by column. The third table provides a means for you to try your own re (regular expression) filter to search for words matching the pattern. To provide multiple patterns, separate each pattern with a comma (,).

Pressing the "Play Game?" button will select the today's word. The day # will be shown in the window title, and scoring will be automatic.
