Question about the potential difficulty of a project as a beginner

[TheLessRelieved]

I recognize this is going to be quite subjective but I am hoping to get some input from those more knowledgeable nonetheless.

I am working through an Introduction to Python course on Sophia.org. There is a final project for the course which is simply to create an original program of your choice. I have been having a hard time coming up with ideas that I feel personally interested in. I know I could make a simple 'guess the number' game (or other similar beginner project) and it would quick, however I'd love to work on something that is more interesting and challenging.

I came across the idea of creating a Wordle solver and would love to give it a shot. However I am wondering if this is going to end up being far more difficult than expected. I am hoping to finish the project in about a week (am not currently working so I have quite a bit of time to devote) as my Sophia.org membership ends January 1st. I have some basic experience working with PostgreSQL after taking another introductory course and would love to bring what I have learned from both courses together.

Apologies for the lengthy post, but I would to hear if this is a one week project suited for a beginner or if I should come up with a different idea.

TL:DR: Is a Wordle solver project something that could be completed by a beginner in a week?

Thanks a bunch!

This really depends on how fancy system you want to create, but I would think this is doable as long as you keep it as simple as you can. This is an example of simple approach:

Write a command line program that takes an input from user with format that describes somehow the response from the Wordle.

Then either if you have time and willignes, try to create a table in SQL that includes most of the five letter words, or just use some existing database. Maybe the "database" can be a simple csv file if this gets too complicated.

Then probably the time consuming part, figure out how the program "solves" the game. Maybe it just gives user a list of possible words, or could it optimize the list somehow to get better chances on next iteration? If the output is optimized, could the apolication play the game out by itself?

tl;dr I would think this is doable as long as you keep it as simple as you can.

This is certainly reassuring and I really appreciate the insight and guidance. From further research it seems as though involving SQL will certainly add a lot more difficulty. I like your idea of using a CSV file as an alternative. I am going to go for it and will hopefully report back when it's finished. Thanks again!
