Open Source Wordle in a bunch of languages
PULL REQUESTS WELCOME!
It would be mega awesome if you could help in any way (especially with language addition/curation).
How to add a new language:
- Make a folder in webapp/data/languages/ with the language code (e.g. en, de, fr, qya, etc.)
- Add a list of 5-letter words and call it {lang_code}_5words.txt
- (Optional) Add a language_config.json file
- (Optional) Add a list of supplemental words
- Add your new language to the list at webapp/data/languages.json
Voilà!
- take into account browser bar height on mobile
- curate wordlists for existing languages
- add keyboard layouts for existing languages
- add more languages
- add "accept any word" option (useful for Klingon or other obscure languages)
- fully translate game interface (missing score streaks and options)
Potential improvements:
- nice animations for revealing letters & such
- make a 4, 6, 7 letter version
- deal with accents & character modifiers better (e.g. french is horrible right now)
Nice to haves:
- improve code quality (e.g. make variable names consistent, code more reusable & less hacky)
- properly integrate TailwindCSS and Vue.js (i.e. not from CDN)
