Stuck on a Wordle and don't want to lose your streak? Use Wordle Lens and get fast, reliable help with your streak!
Wordle Lens brings robust Computer Vision CNN models for OCR and an entropy-based solver together to give data driven calculations for all possible answers and next optimal guess. Perfect for casual players looking for a hint, competitive players practicing information-theory strategies, and anyone who wants a fast assistant for Wordle puzzles.
How it works (simple):
1. Detect the 6×5 Wordle grid using OpenCV contour detection and perspective correction.
2. Extract cells, preprocess, and run the lightweight CNN PyTorch model to classify letters and detect whether a cell is GREEN / YELLOW / GRAY.
3. Alternatively, you can manually define your board and colors.
4. Translate letters + colors into constraints and use precomputed feedback patterns to identify compatible answers.
5. Compute Shannon entropy for all candidate guesses and return the top-ranked next suggestions.
Key features & benefits:
• No manual entry — scan & solve with Camera conveniently.
• Work offline & protect privacy — all image processing and inference run on-device, so your data never leaves your phone.
• Highly compressed solver — Uses advanced optimizations & compression techniques to shrink the solver data.
• Smarter guesses — entropy-ranked choices maximize information gain per move.
Permissions & safety
• Camera — required to scan puzzles.
• Internet connection — optional, for displaying ads.
No personal data is collected. Images stay on your device unless you intentionally save or share them through your phone’s standard sharing menu.
Developer Note
This app is built by a solo hobbyist exploring computer vision, machine learning, and puzzle algorithms. Your feedback and bug reports help improve the app — thank you for supporting!
The source code for the app is publicly available on my GitHub for learning and transparency. You can explore how the app works, how data is processed on-device and the pipelining etc.
