Wikipedia Game Solver

Important

This project is a work in progress, at an early stage of development.

About

The Wikipedia Game involves players competing to navigate from one Wikipedia page to another using only internal links.

Wikipedia Game Solver is a tool that helps you find the shortest path between two Wikipedia pages, using only internal links, basically solving the Wikipedia Game for you.
