Overview

Terminal Wordle is a command-line version of the popular game Wordle, developed for the CS202 final project. Players guess five-letter words and receive feedback via color-coded hints.

How to Run

To start the game, run the following command in your terminal:

How to Play

After each guess, you'll receive a hint using the following format:

• g = green: correct letter, correct position
• y = yellow: correct letter, wrong position
• w = white: letter not in the word

Example:

Guess:  c l e a r  
Hint:   w w g w y

This means:

• e is in the correct position (green),
• r is in the word but in the wrong position (yellow),
