Wordle in your Terminal, built with Ink. I blogged about it a little bit here.

This is a work-in-progress. If you just want to play Wordle in your Terminal, than you should probably go check out clidle instead.

Running it

Using Node.js 20+:

  • From NPM: npx inkle
  • From git: clone the repo, yarn, yarn build-start
  • Quit with esc or ctrl+C

You can also play multiple boards (a la Dordle/Quordle), and override the number of guesses:

--num-boards 3 --num-guesses 12

Future

  • Hard mode
  • Daily vs. Practice mode. (deterministic, but not attempting to use Wordle's exact word for a given day)
  • Option to copy emoji results to clipboard
