To find a more optimal solution using a slower branch-pruning algorithm, run:

./pyrdle.py -s -p

You can also use the -n flag with branch pruning to control the number of unpruned branches (the default is 20, but you should be able to go as low as 6 without producing suboptimal solutions):

./pyrdle.py -s -p -n 6

To solve Absurdle's challenge mode, simply enter the target word as a final argument:

./pyrdle.py -s AZURE
