Wordle clone written in GnuCOBOL
COBORDLE reads in a word.list file in the same directory as the executable. This file is used as the list of valid words that can be guessed. It is also the list that is used to select the current puzzle's answer from. At the start of each round, a random word will be selected from the word.list file as answer.
During the game, confirm your answer with the Enter button. ESC button quits and F12 quits current puzzle and asks if you would like to start a new one.
I didn't include the word list in this repo as it can be found elsewhere online (if at a later date that's not the case, I'll upload one here as well). A good word list source can be found here: https://github.com/tabatkins/wordle-list Just save the file as word.list and put it in the same directory as your COBORDLE executable.
The word.list file is expected to contain a five letter word for each line in the file. The case of the word does not matter. Blank lines are ignored.
To build, run make in the parent directory. This will create the cobordle executable in the ./bin directory.
