About
Wordle is a web-based word game created by Welsh software engineer Josh Wardle, in which players get six attempts to guess a five-letter word, with colored tiles indicating correct letters and their placement; a single puzzle is released daily for all players, and the game was inspired by Mastermind. Wordel is an Emacs package that brings Wordle (also known as Lingo)-style word-guessing gameplay into Emacs, installable via Elpaca, straight.el, or package.el (via MELPA) and launched with M-x wordel or M-x wordel-marathon for repeated play.
How it differs from the original
Unlike Wordle's single daily puzzle, Wordel adds a 'marathon' mode via M-x wordel-marathon for repeated rounds of play.
Getting started
Install via a package manager such as Elpaca, straight.el, or package.el/MELPA, then run M-x wordel for standard play or M-x wordel-marathon for repeated rounds; players using Evil mode need to set the package's modes to start in insert mode.
Additional notes
- Customization
- Additional word lists can be added as plain text files, one word per line, under the package's configured words directory.
