Becki's Wordle Clone

This Python script is inspired by the popular word game Wordle. It was written with Python 3.9.7.

Setup

1. Clone this repo:

   git clone https://github.com/beckilee/python-projects.git
   

2. Move into the python-projects/wordle directory:

   cd python-projects/wordle
   

3. Install colorama library:

   pip install colorama
   

How to play

IMPORTANT: Becki's Wordle Clone needs to access the file words.txt. Make sure you're in the wordle directory before you run the script:

python wordle.py

Try to guess the randomly selected 5-letter word. After you enter your guess, it is color-coded as follows:

• Green: Letter is in the correct place
• Yellow: Letter is in the wrong place
• No color: Letter is not in the word

Unlike the real Wordle, Becki's Wordle Clone gives you as many guesses as you need! So, if you don't get the answer right away, keep guessing.

When you get the answer, the game congratulates you and exits.

If you give up, simply enter:

I GIVE UP

The game prints the answer and exits.

Future enhancements

• Use the Wordnik API to request a random 5-letter word instead of pulling from words.txt
