# Wordlet
Wordlet is a command line clone of
[Wordle](https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/), written in Rust.
## Installation
`$ cargo install wordlet`
## Usage
After installation, start Wordlet by typing `wordlet` in your terminal. Unlike
Wordle, you can play at any time, and you can play multiple times per day. The
game uses the same dictionary as Wordle.
Valid options are:
- `--difficulty`, default is "easy". Can also be "hard".
- `--theme`, default is "dark". Can also be "light"
You quit the game by pressing escape.
## Nerd stuff
This was an exercise in writing a fully functional Rust program. There are
probably better and more performant ways to implement the Wordlet algorithm but
I purposely did not look at how Wordle was implemented.
I learned a lot (and lifted some code) from these other games:
[Minesweeper](https://github.com/cpcloud/minesweep-rs) and
[Battleship](https://github.com/deepu105/battleship-rs). Both of those links
came from the [tui documentation](https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs).
