![Someone improved my code by 40,832,277,770%
YES, the improvement should be 40,832,277,770%, not what I say in the video. The 408,322,778 multiple was correct and I did the percentage the wrong way. There will not be a follow-up video to correct that.
The improvement was to my code from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v AfhLQfb6w
This is episode 038 of the A Problem Squared podcast which started it all: https://aproblemsquared.libsyn.com/038-fldxt-in-wordle-and-improv-tact-hurdle
Here is Benjamin Paaßens full grid of all results and techniques used. It also has links to all the code as well. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11sUBkPSEhbGx2K8ah6WbGV62P8ii5l5vVeMpkzk17PI/edit#gid=0
The article by encody I mentioned: https://medium.com/geeklaunch/how-to-speed-up-your-code-224-444-739-using-graphs-cc37dc395c0c
This is the reverse-frequency alphabet. Which is frequency in words, not in use (which would allow for frequency of word use; this list counts each word once).

And whynot, a whole bunch of code. All of it is better than mine. All of it. (Even if you ran it all sequentially.)
