A Wordle hint tool.
Cluedle is a "reverse" Wordle of sorts. Upon selecting one or more letters, up to 200 solutions are presented. Users can then click on a highlighted letter in a solution to indicate that it should appear in that exact spot, filtering the results even more.
- Select one or more letters to see possible solutions.
- Tap a letter to INCLUDE it.
- Tap it twice to EXCLUDE it.
- A third tap will RESET it.
- Click a matching letter in the word list to indicate EXACT placement.
After downloading this repository:
- Ensure that you have an appropriate package manager installed on your system such as
npm(ships with Node.js) oryarn. - In your terminal of choice, navigate to the folder where the code resides and run
npm cito pull down the required dependencies. This only needs to be done whenever a new version of package.json or package-lock.json is pulled down. - Start the application by running
npm run dev.
This project is built with Preact and Vite. Feel free to open an issue for any bugs or feature requests.

I created this project as way of practicing my React skills. I had just completed an introductory course and wanted to build a self-assigned project. (Side note, I highly recommend the Learn React Today course for anyone that is new to React). I also studied some of the conventions found in Devang Thakkar's Wordle Archive (and by extension Katherine Oelsner's Word Master), which helped a lot.
As such, you may come across one or more antipatterns as I delved into the idea of custom hooks on my own. I would gladly welcome any constructive feedback!
And finally, the most obvious inspiration for this project is the official Wordle game. It should be noted, however, that Cluedle is not affiliated with Wordle or The New York Times Company.
