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.

    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"

    I have already considered this before. I know that what you propose is quite easy. However I do not want to impose any other word list (that might even be considered “proprietary”) to anyone, when the majority of the users’s systems already have the default word list. So, whoever user want any other list, they can easily edit that line and go on enjoy the game using the list they like.

    Another solution is a config file instead of editing line 17. It is just as easy, but having a config file to configure just one parameter sounds not great.
