Wordle in Emacs

Wordel: Wordle (aka Lingo) in Emacs

For the uninitiated, this is a process of elimination word game. You guess a word and each letter of your word will be color coded to reveal how it relates to the hidden word.

Install

Directly

(straight-use-packge 'wordel)

Manually

FAQ

How do I add more word lists?

Word lists are plain text files added under wordel-words-dir. There should be only one word per line.
