I built Wordless because I kept wishing Wordle would let me binge past the daily word. It’s a single HTML file (~42 KB gzipped) that:
- Lets you pick word length 3–8 - Generates a new target word on refresh (no server calls after load) - Stores only your current game state in localStorage - Works offline once cached
Code is MIT at https://github.com/win-wiz/wordless Live demo: https://wordless.online
Fun bits under the hood - Entire dictionary (275 k words) is compressed with a simple trie + base-2048 encoding, fits in one fetch. - Color palette passes WCAG AAA; my color-blind friend can finally beat me. - No analytics, no ads, one optional “buy me a coffee” link.
I’d love brutal feedback on the dictionary choices (American-only feels limiting) and any clever compression tricks I missed. Thanks for looking!
