Wordle Web
A comprehensive Wordle implementation that goes beyond the basic game mechanics to include advanced features like puzzle solving algorithms, shareable game states, and multiple word sets.
Features
- Classic Wordle Gameplay: Guess a 5-letter word within 6 attempts with color-coded feedback
- Multiple Word Sets: Choose from common words (5.7k), previous Wordle words (1474), or all words (14.8k)
- Shareable Links: Generate unique URLs to share specific words with friends
- Built-in Solver: Advanced algorithm that suggests possible words based on current game state
- Hint System: Get strategic hints about most common letters in remaining possibilities
- Game State Persistence: Automatically saves progress and allows resuming games
- Responsive Design: Works seamlessly on desktop and mobile devices
Technical Implementation
Solver Algorithm
The standout feature is the Wordle solver that uses constraint satisfaction:
- Analyzes letter positions and status (correct, present, absent)
- Filters word lists based on game constraints
- Provides statistical analysis of remaining possibilities
- Suggests optimal next guesses based on letter frequency
Architecture
The project demonstrates clean JavaScript architecture:
- Modular design separating game logic, UI, and state management
- Efficient word filtering algorithms for real-time solving
- URL-based game sharing with encoded game states
- Local storage integration for game persistence
Word Management
Comprehensive word list management with:
- 14,800+ word database with multiple difficulty levels
- Historical Wordle answer validation
- Efficient search and filtering capabilities
- Word encoding/decoding for shareable URLs
This project showcases both game development skills and algorithmic thinking, combining entertainment with technical depth.
