I made a Nerdle "Solver" with as many Software Engineering concepts as I could!

Nerdle is a game that really piqued my programmer interest when I first saw it, because it felt like such a great problem to attempt to programmatically solve. I decided to apply a bunch of software engineering techniques along the way (mostly automated testing), and here's the result!
