Daily Word Detectives

The goal of this mini-project was to practice a bit of JavaScript. I wanted something bite-sized that I could hack together in no more than a day or two. I used to love playing the Wordle game every morning when I was younger, so I thought it would be a good idea to try and recreate it.

This project relies on vanilla JS to reach out to a public API, containing a 5-letter mystery word that changes every day. Users have 6 tries to guess the word. On each guess, the UI provides color-coded feedback on each letter. A nice additional feature this version has, is that it verifies the word to be a valid word, preventing a player from entering invlaid words to gain unfair insights to the mystery word.
