Wordle Puzzle | HTML5 Game

A complete, production-ready HTML5 word-guessing game built for commercial distribution. Zero external JavaScript dependencies. Runs on any modern browser straight from a static file host with no build step required.

Overview

Word·le challenges players to guess a secret word within a limited number of tries, with each guess revealing which letters are correct, present, or absent. The game features three difficulty tiers plus a seeded Daily Challenge, a separate 5/6/7-letter word-length selector, five selectable board themes, an XP progression system with seven rank tiers, nine achievements, a local best-times leaderboard, a Hard Mode, a Custom Word pass-and-play mode, a limited-use hint system, and a full sponsor/ad integration framework — all in a single self-contained HTML5 package.
