Word Puzzle is a PineScript-based clone of the popular daily puzzle game called "Wordle".
It is not identical, but the general gameplay is the same.
>How It works (The Game)
A secret word (also referred to as the "target word") is randomly selected from a database of 5 Letter words.
The player/user's goal is to guess that word within 6 attempts.
After each guess, the script provides information to the user by color coding the letters of their guess.
>Interface
On each turn the user will input their 5 letter guess into the "Guess #" box and submit it by checking the check-box next to the word.
If the input word is invalid, the script will prompt you. Invalid words are any words not found within the script's valid word list.
After guess 3, hints may be viewed by hovering over the "Need a Hint" box on the display.
If you are unable to guess the word in the given amount of guesses, the 'Game Over' screen will display, and you will be able to view the answer in the same box as the hints.
To start a new game, clear all inputs and insert a different number into the "Puzzle Seed" input, to have the script randomly select a new word.
NOTE: Word selection based on the seed number is deterministic, the same seed number will always have the same puzzle word.
>Additional Information
The script comes equipped with 5 different themes as seen below.
Table size is also selectable.
This indicator makes use of 'tooltips'.
Hover over the boxes on the table for quick reference information or additional information on prompts.
Since the script randomly selects from the ENTIRE valid word list you are bound to come across some obscure words with strange spellings.
Because of this, I have built in a "quick way out".
To end a game without filling out all guesses, submit the answer "Give Up" to skip to the end screen where you can reveal the puzzle's answer.
Afterwards, take a second to look up the definition! Ever heard of a xylyl?!
The code is fully notated. Most of the script involves string management, but there are still some neat tricks in here as well.
Enjoy!

After each guess, the script provides information to the user by color coding the letters of their guess.
- Green (Known Letters): These letters are in the exact spot that they occur in the target word.
- Yellow (Included Letters): These letters are included in the target word; however, the user does not have them in the correct position.
- Gray (Un-used Letters): These letters do not occur anywhere in the target word
