WOR6LE

A Flutter implementation of the popular word game Wordle with two updates:

  1. Use 6 letters instead of 5.
  2. For letters found in other positions in the word, add Directional arrows ( or ) which point towards where those letters are.

Inspiration

I play the regular Wordle super often, but found myself having a couple of things happen:

  • I'd keep coming up with 6 letter words instead of the usual 5 in the regular Wordle game.
  • I'd get lots of yellow letters but sometimes draw a complete blank on what the word could be.

How to Play

WOR6LE is a word guessing game about guessing the correct 6-letter word.

Use your keyboard or click or tap the on-screen keys to enter letters, then enter to submit your guess.

After your guess, color feedback will be provided for each letter:

Color What it means
🟩 Green Letter is correct and in the right spot
🟨 Yellow Letter is in the word but wrong spot (arrow shows direction)
Gray Letter is not in the word

The colors provide clues to help you narrow down the possibilities for the correct word.

Examples

🟩 W    A    L    N    U    T   

W is in the word and in the correct spot.


I    N    🟨 D ←    I    G    O   

D is in the word but in the wrong spot. The arrow ← shows it belongs to the left.


A    R    G    U    E    S   

U is not in the word in any spot.


F    I    🟩 L →    T    E    R   

L is correct, but appears twice. The arrow → points to the other L.
