Wordle V3

[dkl]

This is my 3rd and Final Version of Wordle and I decided to add some Word size options

So now you have the choice of:-

5 Letter Words, 6 Letter Words, 7 Letter Words or 8 Letter Words

Just as with 5 letter Words you have 6 guesses, so with 6 Letter Words you have 7 guesses and so on.

With 7/8 Letter words it gets a bit complicated keeping track of the letters found, so I have added a separate grid that keeps track of the 'Letters Found' and this grid can 'shuffle' the Letters around at any time (just click the 'sort' button next to it. You can only shuffle, not actually 'Sort' or move the Letters to various positions manually. It is just an 'aid' that some people may find useful.

It might be a good idea (if you have the patience) to go through your favourite dictionaries and eliminate words you have never heard of. It can be a bit frustrating trying to guess a word you have never heard of - and there are many in the lists. I have tried using dictionaries that only using 5000 words but that is generally too small as it won't cover all the versions of a word e.g. plural version of 3/4 letter words that then become 5 letter words due to the additional letters, etc. Just a thought if you are into word games.

I have tested it and all 'seems' in working order, but if you do spot something then let me know. Thank you

ENJOY.

Thank you for this terrific game. So far everything is working great. I have been trying to play at the eight-letter level and learning how limited my vocabulary is. After playing a dozen rounds at the five-letter level, I agree that many of the words are so obscure I had NO chance of winning. I am looking for a list somewhere of words sorted by frequency of use which could be used to winnow down the master list to words most people have actually heard of.

Regardless of all that, so far, no problems with Version 3.

Thank you again.

Great ...... Glad you like it and that you haven't found any glitches yet. I too, will keep a look out for some better word lists. Do let me know if you find something. Included in my WheelieWord game, where the unixdict, Sowpods and Twl06,as well as the Collins Word lists included here. They are almost identical except the Unixdict, which is much smaller. The 5 letter wood list has about 3100 words, but you quickly get words rejected as they aren't in the list. I suppose one could add a bit of code to save the rejected words and they could then be added to the word list. One would need to remember to Dim the Wcount to a larger size or add code to read the file...count the number of files.....then Dim to the required amount. I did mean to add that but forgot!

Thank you for your post. Have a good Day.

Hello
finally took time to try it
Found a thing of two.

After guessing 6-word I asked Definition.
Then I pressed "Quit game"? and main window closed.
But word definition window just left open.
(though it has "OK" button that closed it no problem).

Also for

so I have added a separate grid that keeps track of the 'Letters Found' and this grid can 'shuffle' the Letters around at any time (just click the 'sort' button next to it.

I suggest if we guessed some letters places, let that shuffle keep that green letters on right places.

Is there anything in the rules about double letters? Probably nothing, "caveat emptor"...
I just got caught off-guard

That's a good idea.....I'll look into that fix the other problem you mentioned

I see the New York Times has bought the 'rights' to Wordle!
