Pydle

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
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!
