Dev Wordle

Wordle with a developer’s vocabulary: guess the five-letter word in six tries, with every answer taken from a working day in front of an editor.

Tokens: — Today: — Locked: —

How to play

  • Type a five-letter guess, on your keyboard or the keys on screen, and press Enter.
  • Each tile then shows whether that letter is in the right place, in the word somewhere else, or not in it at all.
  • Solve it in six guesses. The fewer you need, the better the score.

How it's built

There are twenty answers, all of them from the job: REACT, HOOKS, FETCH, CACHE, QUERY and the like.

The keyboard on screen remembers the best result each letter has earned so far. A letter you have placed correctly stays marked as placed, even if a later guess uses it in the wrong spot.

It is plain Svelte state and buttons, with no canvas, so the board is real text.
