Guess Count is Consistent

home / r / guess-count

Intro

For every puzzle, the number of guesses is encoded in three places:

state.boardState. A valid guess is a five character string.
state.rowIndex
state.evaluations

These three numbers should all match.

Usage

This page is also an executable zx script for testing a puzzle against this rule. Pipe a single puzzle md file into this test on stdin.

# test a single file
cat content/w/198.md | zx content/r/guess-count.md

# test a single file
find content/w -name "*.md" | grep -v "_index" | head -n1 | xargs -I {} sh -c "cat {} | zx content/r/guess-count.md"

# test all files
find content/w -name "*.md" | grep -v "_index" | xargs -I {} sh -c "cat {} | zx content/r/guess-count.md"

The process will exit 0 on success with info written to stdout
The process will exit 1 on failure with info written to stdout
