    Mimicking the popular web game, this function matches a current word to a target word automatically, in the most statistically optimal way possible.

    Parameters:
    ------
    `word_list`: list
        list of valid words to be considered
    `guess`: str
        a string -- must be the same length as `target_word`
    `target`: str
        a string -- must be the same length as `opening_word`
    `max_guesses`: int
        the maximum number of attempts allowed to solve the Wordle
    `random_guess`: bool
        if True, randomly chooses a starting word from all words within `word_list`. If False, passed starting word must be used instead
    `random_target`: bool
        if True, randomly chooses a target word from all words within `word_list`. If False, passed target word must be used instead
    `verbose`: bool
        if True, # st.writes progress and explanation of how function solves the puzzle. If False, # st.writes only the guessed word at each guess.
    `drama`: float or int
        if int provided, each guess' output is delayed by that number of seconds, else each output is shown as quickly as possible. For ~dRaMaTiC eFfEcT~
    `return_stats`: bool
        if True, # st.writes nothing and returns a dictionary of various statistics about the function's performance trying to solve the puzzle
    `record`: bool
        if True, creates a .txt file with the same information # st.writeed according to the indicated verbosity

    ------
    `word_list`: list
        list of words of the same 
    `letters_length`: int
        number of letters in succession. Size/length of "gram". Must be between 1 and length of words in word list
    `position`: bool

    `search`: str
        If != None, string of characters to search for within the generated list. If string not found in list, function will # print an error message.
