# Verbiage
Verbiage is a word guessing game. When you guess the wrong word, you get a clue about how your guess relates to the secret word.
## Repository
This repository is organized in two folders:
- `scripts` contains the scripts for generating the word lists and clues, and generating the daily puzzles.
- `verbiage` contains the code for the app.
### Scripts
The scripts can be used as follows (see `-h` for options):
```bash
# Compile the list of english words (4, 5, 6 letters)
python scripts/word_lists/en_words.py
# Play in the terminal
python scripts/game.py play --language en --word-size 5
# Run tests on predefined words
python scripts/game.py test --language fr
```
### Verbiage web app
The web app is built using SvelteJS and can be run locally with:
```bash
cd verbiage
npm install
npm run dev
```
The app deployed to [verbiage.cc](https://verbiage.cc) on each push to the `main` branch.
## Stack
