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.
