Solving Ruzzle™ with Machine Vision

Have you ever found yourself being spanked repeatedly by your spouse's coworker at a free iOS game and thought to yourself, "You know, I could probably write a program to solve this...", but then realized you have better things to do with your time? This is that, except for the second half.

Due to a confluence of events, I've recently found myself in position of having a copious amount of free time. As such, when I had the initial thought of being petty enough to spend a few days writing a program just to beat a whipper snapper nearly fifteen years my junior, there was nothing in real life that prevented me from just laughing at the idea. So here we are. After a couple weeks of tinkering I've managed to write a fully automated solver for [Ruzzle™][1].

Ruzzle™ - The Gameplay

For those not familiar, Ruzzle™ is simple word game that is a bit of a mashup of [Boggle][2] gameplay and [Scrabble][3] scoring.
