Calculates clicks needed to enter a word on a typical smartwatch.
Assumes characters in the order A to Z, with a click needed to step up/down or confirm the selection. Looping from Z to A is possible.
I made this because I god-damn hated entering my Wi-Fi password on my watch, and I'm still mad about it.
The script reads dictionary.txt from the working directory, and calculates the offset between the characters in each word based on a predetermined alphabet. It uses the offset between each character and the length of the word to determine the amount of clicks needed to enter the word.
The results are written to a .csv file (TotalClicksNeeded.csv) in the working directory. The top scoring entry is additionally written to console together with the clicks needed.
I personally used the words_alpha.txt file from the following github repository: english-words
Dictionaries from other languages can be used, as long as the alphabet variable is updated to contain all the needed characters in their natural order of occurrence.
