From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wordy is a word spelling puzzle.

You have 6 guesses to find out the secret 5-letter word.

If a letter appears green, that means that this letter exists in the secret word, and is in the right position.

If a letter appears yellow, that means that this letter exists in the secret word, but is in NOT the right position.

If a letter appears red, that means that this letter does NOT appear in the secret word AT ALL.

There is another project that might interest you:

UPDATES: Play menu became simpler, show LETTERS functionality was introduced, some improvements in show STATS and show WORD LIST. Also, word list file is now configurable.

Pretty cool in principle, although the default word list on my system is awful for wordle.

[–] christos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

As mentioned above, this script is using the word list contained in /usr/share/dict/words.

If your distro doesn't include this installed, you can install the respective package (wordlist, words) using the respective command (apt, pacman).
ADDITIONALLY, if someone wishes to play the game using a different word list, they can do so, editing LINE 17of the wordy.sh

WORD_LIST="/usr/share/dict/words"

change to

WORD_LIST="/path/to/prefered/wordlist"

Oh the word list issue is a matter of great debate. I opted for using the default word list just to avoid this matter (thinking that this list is something fixed and undebatable). It might be a good idea to make the word list configurable, so that each user may use their prefered word list. Stay tuned, I might do it the very near future.
