Show HN: Discord Wordle Result Bot

Hi HN! I created a self-hostable discord bot for scraping and calculating wordle result statistics[0]. The deployment process makes use of docker, and the setup process is thoroughly described in the readme[1].

A group of my friends and I post our wordle results into a channel on our discord, and we've deliberated in the past who has the best score, opener, etc. I used this project as an excuse to explore the discord.py package[2]. It skips non-wordle related messages and uses some checks to determine if the message is a share result, if it's a malformed result, etc. The project only currently leverages the discord.py package for scraping messages from a configured channel, but I have intentions of making it command accessible and possibly a public bot if there's enough interest.

So far, it currently calculates:

- Count

- Score (average number of guesses across all samples)

- Off by 1 count (Number of times the second to last guess is off by 1)

- Average % across each guess tier (1,2,3,4,5,6,X)

- Average value by each guess tier

- X-less streak (breaks on x result)

- Post streak (breaks on missing a wordle post)

- Combined streak (what the wordle website uses (x-less and post))

- Graphs of guess results per user

Check the readme for example outputs to see some stat breakdowns[3].

Let me know your thoughts! I'd love to hear any suggestions for future updates or improvements.
