Appendix 2 - Solve riddles

Minimum code to solve isopsephical riddles in the Pseudo-Sibylline oracles. Get word database and filter by different columns.

pip install grcriddles

from grcriddles import get_database
# get words with length 9, isopsephy 1697, consonants 5,
# and the first three syllables having 2 letters each
# syllable count is going to be 4 with above parameters
words = get_database({0: 'Word', 1: 'Count', 3: 'Chars', 4: 'Isopsephy', 5: 'Syllables', 7: 'Vowels', 8: 'Mutes'})
a = words[words['Isopsephy'] == 1697]
a = a[a['Chars'] == 9]
a = a[a['Mutes'] == 5]
a[a.apply(lambda x: len(x['Syllables'][0]) == 2 and \
                    len(x['Syllables'][1]) == 2 and \
                    len(x['Syllables'][2]) == 2, axis=1)]

Output:
