UPDATE: Now with ≈20 bits of code.
As you may have noticed: the 15 minute runtime for five-letter-word code in my latest video has since been beaten. From 32 days for my original code, to 15 minutes from Benjamin Paaßen the record now seems to be 0.077 seconds (C++ code on a AMD Ryzen 5800X by Sylvester Hesp @oisyn).
Much of the chat happened under this tweet: https://twitter.com/standupmaths/status/1549343218407456769
I think a follow-up video is in order and I'd like to make it fairly soon. But as part of that it would be great to compare the different bits of code all running on similar hardware. I've collected up I-think-all of the bits of code people have sent in. I've listed them on the form page (not all will make the video). You can click through if you just want to have a look at them: https://forms.gle/o6DmDBdrvRsBuTEC7
If you have a chance to run some of them yourself (languages used: Python, C++, Rust, C, Java, Julia, Go) please do log your times (in seconds) in the form.
Do also make any comments below about what you'd like to see in the follow-up video! Here is my current reading list:

PS There are a bunch of words in the Wordle list which were not in my original "words_alpha.txt" list which allow for more 'Wordle approved' solutions: bling, brung, grypt, gymps, pling, treck, vozhd, waqfs
