Re: OT: Wordle
Hi David - my version uses the UK Scrabble word list (CSW19 , although there's a CSW21 now I think) which has quite a few more words than the US one. I've just checked the list with definitions and it does appear that it is valid in CSW19 as a past participle / adjective although it seems not to have full verb privileges (the gerund is not allowed, apparently) Yes the secret word is selected at random and can therefore be rather obscure!

Re: OT: Wordle
Thanks to Ali for creating this and making it available. However, I have a question about the dictionary used and whether the secret word in any given turn is chosen at random from that dictionary. My last game got me to: ALOE- The first four letters are green, the last, an S is black. I tried to send a screenshot, but it’s too big for the list. Regardless of the other letters I’d used up, I can’t come up with anything that makes sense. Aloe as a verb? That’s a real stretch and not in the American Scrabble dictionary. Any ideas?

Re: OT: Wordle
FYI, the game Deduce http://www.obviouslygenuine.com/Obviously_Genuine/Products.html does a roughly similar game mechanic with six-letter words, and offers many interesting UI features -- e.g. you can propose that a letter is correct, and the game will show you the consequences of that choice. gc On Fri, Jan 7, 2022 at 10:51 AM scott--- via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Very nice.

Re: OT: Wordle
If you go onto the settings page you can choose to use CSW19 which is what I originally used, but then I realised people did not want words like EEVEN showing up!
