Wordy

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.

Usage

Through the main menu, the player can

  • Start a new game

13{width=400}

  • Read the game rules

12{width=400}

  • Check Game Statistics

statistics{width=400}

  • Configure Game

10{width=400}

  • Exit Wordy

While playing, the user can also check out:

  • The letters that have been used

8{width=400}

  • The entire word list

9{width=400}

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

This TUI game was inspired by wordle
