makeYou may need to perform some clean-up first
make cleanTo use the Word Game API, include the wordg.h header file in your source code and link against the libwordg.so library or libwordg.dll library, as the case may be.
The API can also be utilized by other programming languages that supports the use/loading of a shared library functions, like Python. Please read the documentations for on how to load a shared library for the programming language you wish to use.
