Stand-up Maths

Five words. Twenty-five letters. Can you find them? That's the Q.

I'm not sure I mentioned this enough, but I have a podcast and it caused this video. Search for "A Problem Squared" wherever you get podcasts and you shall find. https://aproblemsquared.libsyn.com/

Get ALL THE WORDS as "words_alpha.txt" here: https://github.com/dwyl/english-words

Here is the vastly superior code that Benjamin sent in: https://gitlab.com/bpaassen/five_clique

My tweet here: https://twitter.com/standupmaths/status/1549343218407456769

Against my better judgement, I have put my code on github: https://github.com/standupmaths/fiveletterworda

You can also see me talk about two lines of the code over on the second channel. https://youtu.be/kx2sT87Ah0I

I downloaded the Wordle words from here:

Cheers to my Patreons for motivating me to film a thing from the podcast as a quick youtube video. And helping me justify to Lucie why I need to film a thing while we are "on holidays". https://www.patreon.com/standupmaths
