When there's a word that has a letter more than once, if that letter is already confirmed in the right spot, but you tell it the next instance of that letter is wrong, it crashes. You can trick it into working by saying that it's just in the wrong spot.

I tried making it to where the index of the letter within the string has to match with the index of the user input, but that comes with it's own problem, namely it will keep trying that letter in different spots.
I got it all working the way I intended. I also have a method that doesn't just give you a random word that meets the criteria. It's a .csv that has the most frequently used English words, with an associated number. It also boots out any invalid words from the wordle_words.txt when you type "G" (even though the list I pulled is supposed to be straight from the game).
I'm sure there are better, more compact ways to do some of the logic, but it runs fast and solves the puzzle almost every single time.
