About this game

Developed by Graham Downey, this text-mode version captures the essence of the original while adding its own retro charm. With its simple yet addictive gameplay and the ability to play endlessly, WorDOSle is a fantastic choice for fans of word games and retro gaming alike. Here’s a closer look at what makes this game special: Gameplay Overview: WorDOSle stays true to the core mechanics of Wordle, offering a familiar yet fresh word-guessing experience: Objective: Guess a hidden 5-letter word within six attempts. After each guess, the game provides feedback on which letters are correct, misplaced, or incorrect. Feedback System: Correct letters in the correct position are highlighted. Correct letters in the wrong position are marked differently. Incorrect letters are shown as not present in the target word.

Large Dictionary: The game includes a large dictionary of words, ensuring a wide variety of possible targets and reducing repetition. Unlike the original Wordle, you can play as many times as you want, with a new word to guess each time. Endless Play: The ability to generate a new word for every game makes WorDOSle highly replayable, perfect for word game enthusiasts. Graphics and Presentation: Graphics: The game uses text-mode graphics, with ASCII characters representing the interface and feedback. While primitive, the visuals are effective and add to the retro charm. Sound: There is no sound, keeping the focus on the gameplay and word-guessing mechanics.
