dictle

Console implementation of a wordle-style game. Uses the system dictionary (or any other dictionary you want) and supports any word length.

Limitations

Input dictionaries are filtered to exclude proper nouns and words with non-alphabetical characters (which also means that possessives formed with "'s" are not included either). The implementation works on English and many other languages. However, I know in German it would exclude all nouns (they're capitalized), and I think it's proably broken for Turkish and any other language where the capitalized/lowercase distionction doesn't exist or doesn't work like English's does.

While I don't speak these languages and therefore lack the ability to fix this, any affected users are encouraged to submit patches or suggestions for improvement in this area.
