Wordle-cli - Command-line clone of Josh Wardle's WORDLE

Command-line clone of Josh Wardle's WORDLE, inspired by Paul Battley's Ruby version. Features:

• play against random solutions, or against the once-a-day "official" Wordle solution (with --today)
• official dictionaries of solutions and valid guesses
• spoiler-free emoji summaries for sharing

Download and run (./play.py)

Requires Python 3.6 or later, and a terminal which supports colours and ANSI CSI codes, e.g. Windows Terminal.

To get the code:

git clone https://github.com/klipspringr/wordle-cli.git && cd wordle-cli

alternatively, if you don't have git: click Code > Download ZIP on GitHub, extract the ZIP, open a terminal and cd to the extracted folder.

To run on Linux or WSL:

./play.py

To run on Windows in Windows Terminal or PowerShell:

python3 play.py

The Windows command prompt (cmd.exe) is not supported.

Not tested on macOS, but should work — let me know if any problems!

Options

Usage: ./play.py [-h|--help|--today|SOLUTION]

Config file

To tweak the terminal colours and other variables, copy config.ini.defaults to config.ini and uncomment and edit the relevant lines. Colours are specified using ECMA-48 Select Graphic Rendition codes (cheat sheet).
