# Pydle
3 years ago
A word game similar to Wordle, implemented in Python!
## Features
- Randomly selects a 5 letter word from over 5000 possibilities
- Tells you what letters are in the right position, which are present in the word but not in the right place, and which are not in the word at all
3 years ago
- Seed-based, so the word is the same when run on a given day - just like the real thing!

- Coloured output similar to the original game - with thanks to @sgoudham

Compiled binaries are provided in the releases section for Windows and Unix systems. For Windows, the exe can run as-is. For MacOS/Linux, download the pydle file, adn in a terminal window run the command ```chmod +x /path/pydle```, then ```pydle``` while still in the directory.
