Word Mastermind

Word Mastermind is a web-based clone of Wordle implemented as a Mastermind-style word-guessing game. It provides single-player play with per-letter feedback and supports custom dictionaries and multiple languages.

Key Features

• Word-guessing gameplay with per-letter feedback (correct position, present but misplaced, absent)
• Support for custom dictionary files and multiple languages/dictionaries
• Runs as a Node.js application or as a Docker container for easy deployment
• Client-side keyboard UI that highlights letter statuses across guesses
• Can be played endlessly (no single daily word restriction)
• Lightweight JavaScript/HTML/CSS single-page application

Use Cases

• Self-host a privacy-friendly word game for personal or family use
• Language learning practice using custom dictionaries for target vocabularies
• Demo or teaching tool to illustrate simple web app deployment with Node.js and Docker

Limitations and Considerations

• No built-in user accounts, leaderboards, or persistent game history
• Minimal backend features; primarily a lightweight single-page app without advanced analytics or multiplayer support
• Requires Node.js (v16+) and yarn for local development, or Docker for containerized deployment

Word Mastermind is a compact, easy-to-deploy word puzzle suitable for personal hosting, language practice, or lightweight demos. It emphasizes simplicity, configurable dictionaries, and straightforward deployment via Node.js or Docker.
