Heavily inspired by Wordle, Word Master is a word guessing game similar to Mastermind. This Ancient Greek word version is almost completely based on the original English word version, which can be played here.
The original author of Word Master, Katherine Peterson, created it because she loved Wordle, but the once a day limit left her wanting more. I forked her version and converted it to use first Greek words and here Ancient Greek words, because I love the Greek language, and have been writing software to support Greek for the past 40 years.
I created the lists of acceptable and candidate words by processing the classic ancient Greek texts of the Perseus Project digital library to remove SGML markup, English and Latin text, convert the Greek characters from Beta code into Unicode, and keep words that exactly five characters long. The Unix shell script for creating the two lists is available here. The translations of all texts as well as a clean reference word list used to clean up the mined lists were kindly provided by Helma Dik. The clean word list was derived from the ΛΟΓΕΙΟΝ project, which you can use to look up words.
You have 6 guesses to guess the correct word. Each guess can be any valid word.
After submitting a guess, the letters will turn gray, green, or yellow.
Feel free to open an issue for any bugs or feature requests.
