<p>Just like the original Wordle, you have to guess a 5-letter word in 6 tries and it tells you
52
how many letters are correct and in the right position, how many are correct but in the wrong
53
position, and how many are not in the word at all. The only difference is that this one is
54
played in the terminal. It's a great SSH toy for when you're bored.
55
</p><p>The game is written in Python and uses the <code>termcolor</code> library for coloured output. Since it
56
uses <code>colorama</code>, it works on Windows as well as Unix-like systems.
57
</p><p><img alt="A game of teletype Wordle" src="/static/photos/wordle.png"></img>
58
</p><p>You can also customise the game quite a bit. You can change the number of tries, the list of
59
words to guess from (and length will be inferred from that), and the list of words to randomly
60
choose an answer from. You can also enable the analyser, which shows all the letters that have
61
been found so far. Let's make someone play it with the full dictionary :)
62
</p><p>There is also a hard mode, where you must use all the letters that have been found in your
63
guesses.

81
</p><p>If you press ^C it asks you whether you want to give up or not. If you do, it shows you the
82
answer. If you don't, it continues the game. You can press ^C again to close it and never see
83
the answer.
