This is a fully functional Wordle® clone written in vanilla JavaScript. It uses a local, client-side copy of the Official Scrabble® Players Dictionary slimmed down to 5-letter words only, leaving 8636 words, a bit over 3x the official list. As this exposes many lesser-used words, and a free API to an unabridged dictionary was not available at the time of this writing, the endgame screen offers a link to the Wiktionary entry of the game's current word, which is successful most-if-not-all of the time. Statistics are saved to a firebase database.
