 # Pydle
-Python version of Wordle.
+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
+- That's about it - it's fairly barebones as-is!
+
+## Prerequisites & Running
+To run from source, you'll need to have Python installed and accessible on your system. 
+Download the repository locally, open a terminal in the src folder, and enter python pydle.py in the terminal window. And enjoy!
+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.
+
+## Future
+I don't anticipate spending a huge amount of time on this in the near future, but small things I'd like to throw in are:
+- Seed-based, so the word is the same when run on a given day - just like the real thing!
+- Make the output slightly prettier, or as pretty as it can be in a terminal. No plans of making a full GUI version just yet!
+
+## License
+Published under GPL, so go nuts! Contributions and forks of any stripe welcome :)
