Word Game

An implementation of the popular word game "Wordle" using the Flask framework. Players have six attempts to guess a randomly selected 5-letter word. After each attempt, the player receives color-coded hints indicating whether the letters are correct and in the right position (green), correct but in the wrong position (yellow), or incorrect (red).

Requirements

• Python 3.10
• Flask 3.0.3

Game Logic (wordle.py)

This file contains the main application code. Key components include:

• Imports and Configuration: Sets up Flask and imports necessary modules.
• Routes:
  • /: Main route handling game logic and rendering the game page.
  • /gameover: Triggered when the player wins the game.
  • /gameover_lose: Triggered when the player loses the game.
• Game Logic:
  • Initializes a new game with a random word from words_eng.txt.
  • Handles user guesses, provides feedback, and tracks remaining attempts.
  • Redirects to win or lose pages based on the outcome.

Index (index.html)

The main game interface. Includes:

• A form for submitting guesses.
• Display of remaining attempts.
• Display of previous guesses with color-coded feedback.

Win Page (win.html)

Shown when the player correctly guesses the word.

Lose Page (lose.html)

Notes

• Word List: You can update the words_eng.txt file to include your own list of 5-letter words.
• Styling: You can customize the appearance of the game by editing CSS styles in the HTML templates.
