The Bangle version of a popular word guessing game. The goal is to guess a 5 letter word in 6 tries or less. After each guess, the letters in the guess are
|
|
marked in colors: yellow for a letter that appears in the to-be-guessed word, but in a different location and green for a letter in the correct position.
|
|
|
|
Only words contained in the internal dictionary are allowed as valid guesses. At app launch, a target word is picked from the dictionary at random.
|
|
|
|
On startup, a grid of 6 lines with 5 (empty) letter boxes is displayed. Swiping left or right at any time switches between grid view and keyboard view.
|
|
The keyboad was inspired by the 'Scribble' app (it is a simplified version using the layout library). The letter group "Z ..." contains the delete key and
|
|
the enter key. Hitting enter after the 5th letter will add the guess to the grid view and color mark it.
|
|
|
|
The (English language) dictionary was derived from the the Unix ispell word list by filtering out plurals and past particples (and some hand editing) from all 5 letter words.
|
|
It is contained in the file 'wordlencr.txt' which contains one long string (no newline characters) of all the words concatenated. It would not be too difficult to swap it
|
|
out for a different language version. The keyboard currently only supports the 26 characters of the latin alphabet (no accents or umlauts).
