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!
