UPDATE: ADDED GLOBAL STATS (2/28)! Hover your mouse over the icon on the left to see a bar graph displaying the distribution of guesses it takes to solve (or not solve) a word! Based on the popular daily word game. https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html Fullscreen recommended! Finished your Wordle for the day and want to play more? With this project, you can play as many times as you want! It uses Wordle's original word bank of 2000+ words, so each solution is an actual word that the official site could have chosen. I kind of threw this together and there are a few known small bugs that aren't game-breaking, but there's a chance there may be some more bugs I don't know about. If you find a problem please let me know! ---Instructions--- Guess the WORDLE in 6 tries. Each guess must be a valid 5 letter word. Hit SPACE/ENTER to submit, LEFT ARROW for backspace. Alternatively, use the keyboard at the bottom to input your guess. After each guess, the color of the tiles will change to show how close your guess was to the word. A gray tile means that letter is nowhere in the word. A yellow tile means that letter is in the word but in the wrong spot. A green tile means that letter is in the word and in the correct spot. Letters CAN repeat, and it's important to understand how the tiles respond to inputs when the answer has repeating letters. (These should correspond with the actual rules on the website from what I could test) Let's say the word is "PLUMP": Guessing "APPLE": A & E are gray, P,P,L is yellow Guessing "PREPS": R,E,S are gray, First P is green, second is yellow Guessing "LLAMA": A,M,A are gray, First L is gray, second is green Guessing "SHALL": S,H,A are gray, First L is yellow, second is gray --- HARD MODE (beta): Hard mode restricts which words you can enter by forcing them to comply with hints you've been given. In other words, you have to put all green letters in the same spot, and you have to use all yellow letters in each guess. Hard mode can only be activated at the start of each round but can be deactivated anytime. Currently, hard mode has a few small bugs that I'm still trying to work out that make it a bit more forgiving than the real "hard mode." (For example, if you guess two of the same letter and both are yellow, it currently only checks if you have one of that letter) --- A few notes: The list of words this project chooses as answers is the same list that the official website chooses. So any word that appears here as an answer can also appear on the website. There are 2315 possible words that could be the answer. Most of these words are common words, and after going through this list briefly, I haven't found any that Scratch might consider offensive; although if you find any, leave a comment below and I'll work it out. The dictionary I'm using as a list of valid 5-letter words came from a list of "clean" words I found online + all the words that count as possible answers. I ran this list through another filter, taking out any stray bad words it may have missed so in the end you get ~6.5k words that all SHOULD be clean. All this means is that unlike Wordle, this project will not accept possibly offensive/sensitive words as guesses. The downside of this is sometimes regular words get omitted, although most words that the average person knows should be in there. If you think that a word that isn't in the dictionary should be, please comment below and I'll add it! for enter key function
