ZX Wordle

The core Wordle game implemented in C for the ZX Spectrum in 2022 to celebrate 40 years since the launch on April 23rd 1982.

My blogpost about it is here.

It has the answers for Wordle 272 to 1010 built-in, so it will keep you happy until March 2024. Lots of RAM still available if you want to add even more.

It's obviously missing features like stats/streaks etc unless someone wants to implement saving to tape/DivMMC.

Building it yourself

It was created using Z88DK. I haven't written C in over 20 years so the code is rubbish. Feel free to improve.

Compile with:

  zcc +zx -vn -startup=1 -clib=sdcc_iy zxwordle.c -o zxwordle -create-app

Porting

It's all pretty much stdin/stdout including the colour blocks which are just Spectrum INVERSE blocks. So should be trivial to port it to other 8-bit Micros.
