Building a Wordle Solver: Letter Frequency Analysis in JavaScript

Wordle looks simple. Five letters, six guesses. But building a good solver — one that consistently cracks the puzzle in 3-4 guesses — is a genuinely interesting algorithms problem. Here's how I approached it when building the Wordle Solver on WordyLab, my free word game toolkit. Given a set of constraints (green = correct letter + position, yellow = correct letter wrong position, gray = letter not in word), narrow 12,000+ possible words down to the answer in as few guesses as possible.
