CLI-Wordle

A Java-based console Wordle game.

Requirements

Ensure you have a Java runtime environment installed on your computer to run the game.

Word List

The game uses a list of 5-letter English words from a file named words.txt. Ensure this file is in the same directory as the program. Each line of the file should contain a single 5-letter word.

Game Rules

1. Introduction: The game starts by displaying an introduction and providing information about the mystery word, which is a 5-letter English word.
2. Guessing: You have 6 chances to guess the correct word. After each guess, the program will provide feedback to help you narrow down your choices.
   • Enter your guess as a 5-letter word, without punctuation or spaces.
   • If your guess is invalid (not 5 letters or containing non-alphabetic characters), you will be prompted to guess again.
3. Feedback:
   • Correct letters in the correct position will be revealed.
   • Correct letters in the wrong position will be enclosed in square brackets.
   • Letters that are not part of the word will be represented by underscores.
4. Winning or Losing:
   • If you correctly guess the word within 6 attempts, you win the game.
   • If you exhaust all 6 attempts without guessing the word, you lose.
5. Playing Again: After the game ends (win or lose), you can run the program again to play another round with a new random word.

Program Structure

The program consists of two classes: WordList and Wordle.

• WordList: Reads words from words.txt and provides a method to get a random 5-letter word.
• Wordle: Implements the game logic, interaction, and feedback.
