Releases: Epicpkmn11/WordleDS
Continuous Build - 6fd6e63
Pk11 - Download word list to RAM if no SD
Fixes melonDS (with DLDI off) and other environments with Wi-Fi but no SD when the words aren't preloaded
Word list fixes
So uh, turns out due to the Times reusing a few words my API had fallen out of sync "^^. This release contains a few fixes to both rectify that and make sure it's far less likely to ever happen again.
- The word list in ROM is fixed to not be missing any words, and my server's database has been fixed
- The database now keys on
days_since_launchsince that's a true unique value, unlike word ID
- The database now keys on
- Wordle DS now always downloads words from the current day, rather than the end of the list
- This is actually a huge improvement because the Times have actually changed words a few times after initially publishing them to the API, so this means that if you're near Wi-Fi you can just always hit the update button before you play each day and it will 100% guarantee (barring my server breaking) that you've got the right word; while still keeping a cache so you can play without Wi-Fi
If updating from an old version (unless using Universal-Updater which handles it automatically), make sure to do an update in app immediately or you may be playing from a messed up cache
WordleDS.nds and WordleDS.dsi are identical except that the .dsi build has a title ID so it can be installed using NTM while the .nds build doesn't so it works on flashcards. The .cia build can be used to install to the 3DS HOME Menu. Here's QRs for FBI and dsidl:

Mod fix
I'm not sure how I never noticed and fixed this in over a year, but v3.2.0 has a bug from an outdated GitHub Actions script that makes it unable to play some mods because the version number is missing. That is now fixed!

DSi Wi-Fi!
What's new?
- On DSi and 3DS Wordle DS now supports modern Wi-Fi networks for updating the word list!!
- All thanks to @devkitPro for libnds v2.0.0 and with it dswifi v2
Changes
- Updates the included word list through December 8th, 2024
Notes
I improved the HTTP handling of large requests so it should be stable now, as such I've updated the server to no longer limit to 100 words at a time on updates. (only need to update once on download now!) As such, old versions will now usually fail on full word list updates, though simple maintenance updates will probably still go through without issue.

Answers in the guess list
What's new?
- Allows the custom order to specify answers in the incorrect guesses list, since that's a thing now (Wordle 646)
- The one major assumption I make, that the answers will still come from the old list, and they break it
- Please don't add new words at least
Bug fixes
- Fixes settings showing one higher than is actually downloaded

Online word updates
What's new?
- The word order is now synchronized from the internet to remove the need to update the whole game frequently
- Unfortunately this requires a WEP router in-app, however 3DS users can use Universal-Updater (it'll automatically download the latest list on update and there's a manual entry for it too) and I also made a little Python script which you can just put in
sd:/_nds/WordleDS/Wordle DSand run on PC, can always just manually download it too

- Attempting to enable hard mode while playing now has a popup explaining why you can't
Wow I just noticed that the 1st birthday of Wordle DS was back on February 13th, when I started this it was supposed to be a little one off thing that I just had a little fun making, released, and never worked on again. And here I am making v3.0.0 a year later. It's not really thaaat major of a change all things considered, but with it being such a major change to the usage of the app I figured I'd give it the v3. Also, Wordle DS has an official webpage now ;P
