About

Wordle is a web word-guessing game by Josh Wardle in which players have six tries to guess a daily five-letter word; Nerdle, created by Richard Mann, is a similar daily game where players guess an eight-digit calculation instead of a word. Rustle is a terminal-based clone that lets players play Wordle- or Nerdle-style puzzles from the command line, installable via Cargo or as a downloadable binary.

How it differs from the original

Unlike the originals' single daily web puzzle, Rustle can be played anytime from a terminal and lets players adjust the answer length via a command-line flag.

Getting started

Install it with `cargo install rustle-game`, or download a prebuilt binary directly from the author's website. Run it to play the Wordle-style mode, add a flag to switch to the Nerdle-style mode, and another flag to change the puzzle length.
