Ruby implementation of Wordle.

gem install wordle

Just run wordle from the command line.

This version will pull a new word at random every time you run it from a very weird and long list. It's much more difficult than the original due to some of the words being a bit uncommon.

Usage: wordle [options]
    -i, --identifier=IDENTIFIER      Pass word identifer to target a specific word that someone else has played. Identifier gets printed at the end of the game to share with a friend.
    -d, --difficult                  Hard mode. Any revealed hints must be used in subsequent guesses.
    -c, --contrast                   High contrast mode. Matched letters will be orange. Included letters will be blue.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

I cribbed my word list from the Wordle site itself. I have no association with the site, its creator, or the New York Times - I'm just a fan!
