It's Wordle but mean! It was created as a fork of hello wordl.

Play it here.

Introduction

Wordle is a word game similar to the TV show Lingo.

You get 6 tries to guess a 5-letter target word. After each guess, the letters light up in various colors as clues. Green means a letter is correct in this spot; yellow means a letter is elsewhere in the target word; gray means a letter is not in the target word at all.

History

In 2021, Josh "powerlanguage" Wardle created Wordle, a version of the Lingo word game that you can play once a day. The target word is the same for everyone each day, and you can share results to Twitter and compare with your friends. This made Wordle go absolutely viral around January 2022.

I wanted to make a silly version of the game to poke fun at a friend, so I created a version of it where the words could be taken as insults pertaining to that person.

My word contained two of the same letter!

This can happen in Wordle too, and I give clues exactly the same way Wordle does. I think the game would be too easy if I got rid of double letters, so I won't.

Where are the words coming from?

To generate target words, I have - with help - curated the list of target words used in hello wordl to a specific (silly) set of words. I doubt anyone's playing enough to get dealt a strange target word, but if it becomes an issue, please let me know.
