Wordy is a word spelling puzzle.

You have 6 guesses to find out the secret 5-letter word.

If a letter appears green, that means that this letter exists in the secret word, and is in the right position.

If a letter appears yellow, that means that this letter exists in the secret word, but is in NOT the right position.

If a letter appears red, that means that this letter does NOT appear in the secret word AT ALL.

      • As mentioned above, this script is using the word list contained in /usr/share/dict/words.

        If your distro doesn’t include this installed, you can install the respective package (wordlist, words) using the respective command (apt, pacman).

      • ADDITIONALLY, if someone wishes to play the game using a different word list, they can do so, editing LINE 17of the wordy.sh

      WORD_LIST="/usr/share/dict/words"

      change to

      WORD_LIST="/path/to/prefered/wordlist"

      Oh the word list issue is a matter of great debate. I opted for using the default word list just to avoid this matter (thinking that this list is something fixed and undebatable). It might be a good idea to make the word list configurable, so that each user may use their prefered word list. Stay tuned, I might do it the very near future.
