# Wordle
Ruby implementation of [Wordle](https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/).
[](https://github.com/JonathanWThom/wordle/actions/workflows/build.yml)
## Installation
`gem install wordle`
## Usage
Just run `wordle` from the command line.
This version will pull a new word at random every time you run it from a very weird and long list. It's much more difficult than the original due to some of the words being a bit uncommon.
```
Usage: wordle [options]
-i, --identifier=IDENTIFIER Pass word identifer to target a specific word that someone else has played. Identifier gets printed at the end of the game to share with a friend.
-d, --difficult Hard mode. Any revealed hints must be used in subsequent guesses.
-c, --contrast High contrast mode. Matched letters will be orange. Included letters will be blue.
```
## Development
After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).

I cribbed my word list from the Wordle site itself. I have no association with the site, its creator, or the New York Times - I'm just a fan!
