yeah but it's not CHEATING cheating right?

 I tend to play a daily wordle, comparing notes with coworkers. 

Every once in a while I have 3 letters green, but no idea what goes in the other two places. Small enough that it's possible yet annoying to run the permutations in my head. So earlier I would write little scripts to do that which I finally decided to enhance with a UI...

it was interesting to generalize the hardcoded cases from earlier:

function permutate(){

 const bads = window.bads.value.toLowerCase();

 const goods = alphabet.split('').filter(x=>bads.indexOf(x) === -1);

 const word = window.word.value.toLowerCase();

 const parts = word.split('_'); 

 if(word.length !== 5 || parts.length !== 3) {

    alert('expected word to be 5 letters with two _s');

    return;

 }

 const perms = [];

 goods.forEach(a=>{goods.forEach(b=>perms.push(`${parts[0]}${a}${parts[1]}${b}${parts[2]}`))});

 window.results.innerHTML = perms.join('\n');

}

Used fun shortcuts like an element with an id is available at window.id, and then it was another good case of fun with split/join/filter/forEach.

(Pushing to an array outside of the loop seems a little less graceful, but wasn't sure how else to handle the nesting of it.)

So it's definitely sort of cheating, though much less so than using one of the sites that knows the words in Wordle...
