# Wordle Bot

This is a simple bot inspired by [Wordle game](https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html).

The bot is entirely written in TypeScript. Thanks to [grammY](https://grammy.dev/) Telegram Bot framework. And to [datamuse](https://www.datamuse.com/api/) API for word check.

# 🗃️ Archive Notice

This repo is archived as this code is no longer maintained. I've rewritten the bot in Dart and is available here: [HeySreelal/xwordle](https://github.com/HeySreelal/xwordle).

## Give a try! [@xWordleBot](https://t.me/xwordlebot).



## Setup

1. Clone the repo.

2. Run `npm install`

3. Create an .env file with the following variables:

   1. BOT_TOKEN - the Telegram bot token provided by [@BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather)

   2. LOGS - Telegram channel or group ID where the bot will send logs. (Make sure bot is an admin of the channel or member of the group).

   3. ADMINS - Telegram User IDs of the admins of the bot.

   4. Check the [.env.sample](./.env.sample) file for reference.

4. Create a Firebase Project and download the Admin SDK creds as `service-account.json`. Save the file inside `src/config/`

5. Run `npm run build` - Make sure you have installed the latest version of [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/download)

6. And to complete the setup run `npm run setup`.

7. Run `npm start` to start the bot.

## Words

You can customize the words to be used by the bot by editing the [`src/config/words.ts` file](./src/config/words.ts).



## TODOs:

- [x] Add error handlers.

- [ ] **Meaning of Words**: Thinking of adding `/meaning` command or similar thing to send the meaning of the word at the end of the game daily.

- [ ] **Better Reminders**: Currently we're sending reminders only to people who have played yesterday's game and turned on notifications. I think, it's better to nudge the users who haven't played the game for a while like 7 days or more to play.

## Thanks ❤️

Show some love by sharing the bot with your friends!
