Wordle is super fun and popular game. Unfortunately, it's a little nonstandard, but the logic behind it is quite simple which is why it's now a Python library.

import wordle

game = wordle.Wordle(word = 'HELLO', realWords = False)
game.run()

# Or even more simply:
wordle.Wordle(word = 'hello', realWords = True).run() # runs in one line. 

Instantiate a game object using game = wordle.Wordle(). The two positional requirements of the Wordle class are word and realWords. word is the answer to the game. It must be a real, five-letter word. If it isn't, the package will raise an error and you'll have to change your instantiation to reflect a real word. realWords is a boolean. If it's True, the package will check user guesses against a comprehensive inbuilt database of thousands of five-letter words. If it's False, any guess (real or not) will be accepted.

In the game of Wordle, part of the challenge is that guesses must be real words. This prevents users from guessing "aeiou" as their first attempt, for example. That's why you must tell the game object whether it should check for real words or not.

Note: In version 1.5.10, the issue disallowing a lower-case word has been patched. word = 'hello' and word = 'HELLO' are both acceptable.
