Wordle CLI

The famous Wordle game, but in your terminal

github.com/AbhinavRajesh/wordle-cliwww.npmjs.com/package/@abhinavrajesh/wordle

A small side project I built when Wordle was peak hype — a fully playable CLI clone of the game, built in TypeScript and published to npm.

You can install it globally and play the daily puzzle from your terminal:

npx @abhinavrajesh/wordle

I wrote a detailed blog post covering how I built it — picking the word list, handling color feedback in the terminal, packaging the binary, and publishing to npm. You can read it here.

Tech stack:

  • TypeScript
  • Node.js
  • Inquirer (interactive prompts)
  • Chalk (terminal colors)
  • npm (distribution)
