Junior Wordle

The Project

Heard of Wordle? Well here is my junior version with four letters instead of five! A PC is recommended and doesn't work too well on a phone or tablet. The aim of the game is to find a secret word in 6 or less tries. For Scratch members, there is a daily word that is the same for everyone. Everyone has access to practice mode, which generates an unlimited number of words to find. On each attempt, enter a real 4-letter word, and check the colours to see how close you are. If the letter turns BLUE, you have the right letter in the correct position. If the letter turns YELLOW, the letter is correct but position is wrong. GREY means the letter is not in the secret word at all.

Team Comments

This game was inspired by the original Wordle and my sister. She found the original Wordle (which I love and do every day) too hard so I made my own for her but with four letters.

What I found really hard was making the daily word because a cloud variable has to be in numbers. To solve this, I made a number to letter converter and the other way round which made the daily word the same for everyone.

I would make an intro and generally make the code neater as it is very messy.
