Wow! CSK sharply reduces the time it takes to solve a Wordle puzzle. The main tricks are to use the Exclude Words field and Reg Exp field.

I’ve never downloaded an app to try out that, like this one, literally does nothing. It’s amazing! Don’t bother with it.

Online versions much better
Developer Response
CSK works great offline, including dictionary definitions, so a boon if you cannot go online. The native user interface has been streamlined for iOS devices and is a lot less clunky than a generic web interface. The app also has powerful filters to refine your searches, something that many website versions do not feature.
