The New Wordle.md

Welcome to "The New Wordle"

Our company is all about Wordle related things and we'd like you to model a system that can support Wordle tournaments. We're very serious about making this a success, so this needs to be production quality design.

Now

The first priority is a global leader-board which will tell users their world ranking.

• We will release a game each day and people will have 24 hours to complete it.
• Once players have played 10 games, they will appear in the ranking
• Players will be ranked by the amount of guesses they needed to complete a game and/or the amount of time taken. We're not really sure what combination of those two metrics will work best, so we'd like to have multiple ranking algorithms to start with so we can determine the best one.

Later

In the future, we'd like to have a 1 vs 1, knock-out competetion that culminates in the grand final, but this is out of scope for now.

Wordle game.md

When a game of Wordle begins, a 5-letter word is chosen at random from a list of words.

The player must try to guess the word by entering a five-letter word.

After each guess, letters are marked as follows:

• 🟩 = correct letter, correct position
• 🟨 = correct letter, wrong position
• ⬜ = letter not in word

Example:

• Word: CODER
• Guess: ULCER
• Result: ⬜⬜🟨🟩🟩

Example:

• Word: CODER
• Guess: CODER
• Result: 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 (game won)

A player wins the game if they correctly guess the word within six attempts.
