word_scorer.py generates a "score" for each word in five_letter_words.txt that
represents the average information gain that word provides as a guess. The
information gain is calculated by simulating using the word as a guess for every
possible secret word.
solver.py/app.jsx uses the information gained from each guess to build a list of
constraints that the secret word must conform to, and then selects the highest
scoring word which meets those constraints as the suggested guess.
