WORDLE with suggestions

Overview:

• University assignment for CS211.
• Assignment is worth 3%.
• Additional task is worth an extra 3%.
• A clip of the final version can be seen here.

Task:

• Create a program identical to WORDLE.
• Use only Java (SWING / AWT), no Java FX.

Additional Task:

• Create suggestions for the user based off their input.

Task 1 Result:

• I wanted it to be identical as possible to Wordle. - Which was tough as swing is quite old 🙂
• Used same font (before NYT takeover), color palette and also the same words that wordle has as possible answers, which differs from words they accept.
• Program has a help window and replay function and is errorfree (As user's input is limited, just like Wordle).

Task 2 Result:

• I added an additional text field that displays up to 3 suggestions for the user, based off of their input.
• To test this, the user can type 'XXXXX' which will run a function that inputs 'ALIEN' and 'TOURS' and then it will enter the 1st suggestion that is based off the results of the first 2 inputs.
• The 'XXXXX' function will solve the word before the attempts run out 100% of the time. 💯
• A clip of this can be seen here.
