+# Lecture 06 Overview
+# "Feedback-nostic"
+- As announced on Canvas, today's diagnostic is all about feedback!
+- We've already gotten some feedback that I want to address:
+    - There's a lot of responses that take on two forms:
+        - "Lecture is too fast and doesn't cover syntax"
+        - "Lecture is too slow and doesn't cover interesting algorithms"
+    - This is actually completely expected for a first programming course!!! Experience is very varied and we're doing our best to make sure everyone is covered and has a good time.
+    - Regardless, we're going to try some things to help everyone:
+        1. We have readings! These have always been there (thanks Mike!), but a lot of people didn't know about them.  We will now designate "pre-lecture" readings for each lecture which you can, but do not have to, read to make sure you have the foundational syntax in place before lecture!
+        2. Starting with project03, all projects will have "honor roll" problems which are not worth credit but are worth brownie points.
+        3. Please go to recitation if you need more help!  The TAs are happy to answer any sorts of syntax questions or things you didn't completely get in lecture there!
+    - More clearly articulated goals for lecture.  (That's what this document is.)

+## Case Study: Wordle
+
+- Introduction to File I/O (Making a list of words from a file)
+    - What is a file?
+    - How do we read files?
+    - `get_words() -> list[str]`
+
+- Introduction to dictionaries
+    - What is a dictionary (or map)?
+    - Why are they useful?
+    - How do we initialize dictionaries in code?
+    - What are some useful syntax for dictionaries?
+
+- The "wordle" game
+    - `get_wordle_words() -> list[str]`
+    - `how_many_exact_matches(word1: str, word2: str) -> int`
+    - `get_counts_of_letters(word: str) -> dict[str, int]`
+    - `how_many_overall_matches(guess: str, answer: str) -> int`
