## Installation

`$ cargo install wordlet`

## Usage

After installation, start Wordlet by typing `wordlet` in your terminal. Unlike

Wordle, you can play at any time, and you can play multiple times per day. The

game uses the same dictionary as Wordle.

Valid options are:

- `--difficulty`, default is "easy". Can also be "hard".

- `--theme`, default is "dark". Can also be "light"

You quit the game by pressing escape.

## Nerd stuff

Building the app locally requires Rust 1.58 or higher.

This was an exercise in writing a fully functional Rust program. There are

probably better and more performant ways to implement the Wordlet algorithm but

I purposely did not look at how Wordle was implemented.

I learned a lot (and lifted some code) from these other games:

[Minesweeper](https://github.com/cpcloud/minesweep-rs) and

[Battleship](https://github.com/deepu105/battleship-rs). Both of those links

came from the [tui documentation](https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs).
