WordCord is a fun and interactive game built for Discord communities, bringing the popular Wordle game directly to your server. Developed with Next.js and Node.js, this project allows users to guess a word suggested by other members of the community, fostering engagement and excitement within your Discord server.
Recreated the Wordle game using Next.js and integrated it with a Discord bot.
The Discord bot was built using Node.js, and it was configured with slash commands to enable users to submit 5-letter words which are subsequently stored in a MongoDB database.
The server then executes a daily Cron job to randomly select a word from the database and update the daily WordCord prompt.
