Refer to Wikipedia English for more context on Wordle.
This version behaves exactly like the standard Wordle game, except that it displays all possible choices in the current condition on the left side.
It accepts keyboard inputs, backspace to delete a letter, enter to confirm, and you can also select a choice from the left side.

This is my first game so any help would be appreciated.
Update
I just updated the code so that the suggestions are sorted by their weight descending, the weight is calculated as the sum of the letter frequencies of the letters in the word, but the frequency counts half as much as the previous appearance of the same letter for each consecutive appearances of the same letter.
The above method ensures the more frequent and different letters the word has, the bigger the weight, so as to trigger better checks.
Video Example (Google Drive)
If I have time I will improve the algorithm further and figure out how to hook a separate thread to the program to run a AI that automates the testing and to train the wordle solving model.
