![WORDLABLE](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/a/ea7056a8699c7594eec448a08741ec86e7f99e38.png) Itā€™s the daily word game that has taken the internet by storm, and this week your challenge is to recreate the viral sensation that is [Wordle](https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/). A number of folks in the Community are already playing so if you want to share your score then head over [here](https://community.thunkable.com/t/wordle-no-spoilers/1694507). Our very own @jared has been sharing progress updates over on Twitter: > ## The Challenge - Users get 6 attempts to guess a 5 letter word. - Letters that are in the word, but in the wrong place are coloured in yellow, - Letters in the word and in the correct place are coloured in green. - If a letter is not in the word is stays grey. - (Remind anyone else of [WDC #24](https://community.thunkable.com/t/wdc-24-lets-play-mastermind/1538130)?) Once you have the basic functionality dialled in thereā€™s so much you can do in terms of additional functionality - change the number of guesses, change the length of the words, add a timer for fastest guessersā€¦so much to choose from and happy to hear your suggestions too. As always, good luck! ## Update: To help get you up and running as quickly as possible weā€™ve shared some resources that are free to reuse here: > [@video\_game WDC #26 Can you make your own "Wordle" game in Thunkable?](https://community.thunkable.com/t/wdc-26-can-you-make-your-own-wordle-game-in-thunkable/1679973/24): > > Wasnā€™t expecting to have so many apps, of such a high quality, built so soon - great work @tatiang @manyone and @codeswept Hopefully as folks have more time over the coming days weā€™ll see even more entries! Wanted to share an alternative approach to the WDC, where Iā€™m doing the design majority of the design in Figma and applying the finishing touches in Thunkable. Also happy to share my Figma file too and would actively encourage folks to share any derivative or improved versions ā€¦ ---

Loving the clone features of the Snap to Place interface right now! Hereā€™s what I haveā€¦ I start with two buttons, clone 'em a whole bunch and then use some text blocks and math to check each letter against the secret word. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/b/4bbe8291be6d54dea8f5b79e6012e02736737106.png) Next, I have to figure out if the second row will function like the first and check for a correct answer (all green) and also stop when the player runs out of rows. ---

The nice thing about dynamic design is that when i realized I needed a keyboard that uses QWERTY format, it took about 3 seconds to fix it. (I still need to delete the blank keys after the Z and make proper keyboard rows.) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/f/2f1ed3c7ebf56ad0107704028e2574f06eebb897.png) ---
