Re: !Arcle
What would really recreate that 1989 vibe would be a Wimp version, with green and orange picked from the default 16-colour palette …
Re: !Arcle
Not done any WIMP stuff before sadly, half of the graphics code for this was ripped out of a Star Trek game I was making 
Maybe I'll get around to a slightly 'newer' looking version.

Re: !Arcle
Good start! No issues with memory on this platform at least.
As people pointed out to me - your letter logic needs some work.
The game doesn't colour the second double letter if it's in the wrong place.
The target word in the case is "peels" (hacked word list)
I'd prefer a keyboard to show the letters you've guessed - and yes - it's crying out for a wimp version.
Lastly - given the archie knows the date you could put it in "strict" mode and provide the same word as the online version and keep stats....

Re: !Arcle
My plan is to add date support so it gives the same Wordle as the online one, I've used any of the date SWIs yet so some work to do there. The word list is in the same order as Wordle so should just work.
Interesting one re: the double letters, i thought i'd figured that one out. Code is a bit of a mess, I'll log a bug report! Thanks.

P.S. There we go. I'll try and fix it.

Re: !Arcle
Now does the correct one based on date. Not too bad other than the wonders of the 40-bit integer RiscOS uses for dates

Re: !Arcle
I'm guessing the NYT changed the words as we're now one word out of sync
