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.

Dependencies

• 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, through configuring the game.

Configuring

Either within the game (option 4 of main menu) or just by editing $HOME/.config/wordy/wordy.config file, the user can configure these two parameters:

n	Variable	Explanation	Acceptable Values	Default Value
1	WORD_LIST	The word list used in this game	Absolute path of an adequate txt file	/usr/share/dict/words
2	PREFERRED_EDITOR	Editor to be used to open the config file	Any gui or tui text editor	nano

Install

From a terminal window, clone the repository and change directory to wordy/

git clone https://gitlab.com/christosangel/wordy.git&&cd wordy/

To run the script from any directory, it has to be made executable, and then copied to $PATH:

chmod +x install.sh&&./install.sh

Run

Just run:

wordy.sh

or from the same directory:

wordy.sh
