Solving Wordle with Python and Selenium

In 2022, the Wordle game took over the world by storm. As curious automation engineers, it is our duty to find an automated solution to solve Wordle for us. I took on that responsibility and created a working Wordle-solver using Python and Selenium. As a bonus, I got that solution to run in GitHub Actions. In this presentation/demonstration, you’ll learn how all the pieces come together to make this happen. You’ll learn some Python, some Selenium, some pytest, some SeleniumBase, some things about Shadow-DOM, and getting your scripts to run in GitHub Actions. -------- The “Why?“ Section: 1. Why automate Wordle? Wordle is a game, and games help up learn. In the case of playing Wordle, we play because it’s fun to solve puzzles. In the case of automating Wordle, that’s an even bigger puzzle to solve because there are more components involved (algorithms, Python, Selenium, Shadow-DOM, etc). 2. Why run the solution in GitHub Actions afterwards? GitHub Actions i
