Wordel: Wordle (aka Lingo) in Emacs

For the uninitiated, this is a process of elimination word game. You guess a word and each letter of your word will be color coded to reveal how it relates to the hidden word.

Install

With straight.el

Directly

Manually

Clone this repo into your load-path

FAQ

How do I add more word lists?

Word lists are plain text files added under wordel-words-dir. There should be only one word per line.
