This is a solver for the New York Times’ Spelling Bee puzzle.

CLI

Until node fully supports native JavaScript modules, you’ll need to run the CLI with the experimental flag, like so:

$ node --experimental-modules cli.mjs l ofrnug

Note that the first argument (l) is the center letter and the second argument is the surrounding letters.

The output should look like this:

[ 'flog',
  'flong',
  'floor',
  'flor',
  'flour',
  'fluff',
  'flung',
  'fluor',
  'flurr',
  'fool',

  'foul',
  'fulgor',

Module

The CLI is powered by a separate function, the usage of which is:

import solve from 'spelling-bee-solver';

const solutions = solve('l', ['o', 'f', 'r', 'n', 'u', 'g']);
