Wordy is a word spelling puzzle.
You have 6 guesses to find out the secret 5-letter word.
If a letter appears green, that means that this letter exists in the secret word, and is in the right position.
If a letter appears yellow, that means that this letter exists in the secret word, but is in NOT the right position.
If a letter appears red, that means that this letter does NOT appear in the secret word AT ALL.
There is another project that might interest you:

UPDATES: Play menu became simpler, show LETTERS functionality was introduced, some improvements in show STATS and show WORD LIST. Also, word list file is now configurable.
Pretty cool in principle, although the default word list on my system is awful for wordle.
Oh the word list issue is a matter of great debate. I opted for using the default word list just to avoid this matter (thinking that this list is something fixed and undebatable). It might be a good idea to make the word list configurable, so that each user may use their prefered word list. Stay tuned, I might do it the very near future.
Have you thought of the Wordle wordlist by default and let the user override it via a config option? This would cut down on the per-distro variability. IIRC the wordlist itself it around 14KB so not terribly large. You could even pull it from the GH via curl during installation if you'd like. I don't think I'd mind implementing this if your interested.
Another alternative is to provide the user a few word lists (as you mentioned, they should be quite light), and from then on each one is free to choose their prefered one.
It could be done with
curlas well, but then if we did that, we would have another dependency:curl.I forgot to thank you for the feedback, and for your willlingness to help, it is appreciated.
