This Wordle clone uses a CDN-hosted word list from `word-list-json` for the dictionary of valid words. The game features a 6x5 grid for guesses, color-coded feedback (green for correct position, yellow for correct letter in wrong position, gray for absent letters), a virtual keyboard, and physical keyboard support. The implementation handles game logic, including win/loss conditions and invalid input checks. Simply save this as an HTML file or paste it into a browser to play.Drag to resize
Of course! Here is a self-contained Wordle clone. It includes the game logic, a large dictionary of valid words, and all necessary styling in a single file.

Sure! Below is a fully functional **Wordle clone** as a standalone HTML document. It includes:
- A grid-based UI for guesses
- On-screen keyboard
- Keyboard event handlers (type directly or click UI)
- Color coding for letters: green (correct), yellow (misplaced), gray (not present)
- Game over with hints if you lose
For simplicity, a short list of example 5-letter words is provided. To use a **larger word list** (such as 2000+ real Wordle words), replace the `WORDS` array contents with a larger, valid 5-letter word list.
---
> 💡 *To load a real large dictionary (e.g., from GitHub), you'd need to use asynchronous fetching (`fetch()`), but inline full file inclusion is not allowed here. You can see below how to swap the list easily.*

### ✅ How to Use a Larger Word List?
If you'd like to use a **truly comprehensive dictionary**, you can fetch it from a public GitHub hosted text file by replacing this line:
```js
const WORDS = [ ... ];
```
with:
```js
let WORDS = [];
fetch('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tabatkins/wordle-list/main/words')
.then(res => res.text())
.then(text => {
WORDS = text.split('\n').filter(w => w.length === 5);
const targetWord = WORDS[Math.floor(Math.random() * WORDS.length)].toUpperCase();
init();
});
```
That would use Tab Atkins' commonly used Wordle word list (available [here](https://github.com/tabatkins/wordle-list)).

This Wordle clone includes:
1. A large dictionary of 5-letter words (over 200 words)
2. A responsive game board with 6 rows and 5 columns
3. An on-screen keyboard with color-coded feedback
4. Game statistics tracking (streak and games played)
5. Visual feedback for correct letters (green), present letters (yellow), and absent letters (gray)
6. Flip animations for letter tiles
7. Responsive design that works on mobile devices
8. Win/lose messages with the solution revealed on loss
9. New game button to restart
The game handles both keyboard input and on-screen keyboard clicks. It validates words against the dictionary and provides appropriate feedback. The statistics persist during the session.
To play:
1. Type letters to fill the tiles
2. Press Enter to submit your guess
3. Use Backspace to delete letters
4. Colors will indicate correct letters/positions
5. Try to guess the word in 6 attempts or less
6. Click "New Game" to start overDrag to resize
