  • Game Boy Wordle clone: How to compress 12972 five-letter words to 17871 bytes
    12 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Feb 2022
    ```

    Doing this, and then doing the variable length encoding I got the file down to 13,181 bytes (it was 13,180 bytes, but I needed to add a 7 bit termination string so that you can properly decode the file after you write it to disk, otherwise when the file rounds to the nearest byte you have random 0s that get decoded).

    I'm sure with some twiddling of the alphabets some more you could save a few more bytes, but this does better than both Brotli on a ASCII trie and the Huffman Trie by almost 1KB (https://github.com/adamcw/wordle-trie-packing#all-words), so I'm very happy.
