node-wordle

A few simple functions to make wordle easier to make.

If any issues are found, please open an issue on the Github.

5 letter words are valid as of wordle commit af610646.

Functions

getWord(isValid, length)

This function gets a word from the disctionary. If length is 5 (or default) and isValid is true, it will select a word from the valid list of words used by wordle. If isValid is false, it will bick from the invalid list. If the length is not five, it will bick a word from a dictionary. These words have not been checked thoroughly and will contain obscure phrases.

checkGuess(guess, answer)

This function checks the guess of the player with the answer. If there are multiple instances of a letter, the function will work from left to right. It will throw an error if the length of the two words are not the same.

getLog()

Returns the log if it is enabled (see below).

Settings

pass settings in using the config function.

logWarnings

If this is true, any warnings wil be stored in a log file and not displayed on the console. You can use getLog() to retrieve the log.

emojis (deprecated)

Toggles between emojis and numbers, automatically switches to responseType in this version.

responseType

Sets the return type for checkGuess. It currently supports these options:

• alphalight: "w", "y", "g"
• alphadark: "b", "y", "g"
• numbers: 0, 1, 2
• emojilight: "⬜", "🟨", "🟩"
• emojidark: "⬛", "🟨", "🟩"

forceValidity

Is an integer between -1 and 1, which decides whether to override the isValid input in getWord(). If it is -1, it will override to always pick from all words. If it is 0, it will not override. If it is 1 it will override to only pick from the valid word list.
