Game description

Elixir Wordle is a game that can be played on the web, where players aim to guess a word related to Elixir programming language.

Every day, a random word is chosen, and players are given the word's length, a clue, and six chances to guess the word. After each guess, players receive feedback to help them narrow down the possibilities and make a more informed guess.

Example:

• Incorrect letters are displayed in gray (⬜).
• Correct letters in yellow (🟨).
• Correctly placed letters in green (🟩).

CLUE: "Datatype"

⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ length(word) => 5 
⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 Trying... 'FLOAT' => Now you know that contains 'L' and 'T'.
🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜ Trying... 'LISTS'
🟩⬜⬜🟨⬜ Trying... 'TREES' => Now you know the word starts with 'T'.
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Trying... 'TUPLE' => You got it!

Tools used

The following tools were used in the development of this project:

• Phoenix: an open-source web development framework written in the Elixir programming language.
• PostgreSQL: a free and open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) emphasizing extensibility and SQL compliance.
