+# CLAP4-Wordle-Clone-in-C
+A very simple clone of wordle made using C. This is a mini-project for our CLAP4 component at my university. The main purpose of this project was to explore file manipulation and understand how different concepts in C interact with each other. 
+The project compiles in VS Code and Code::Blocks and runs in DOS.
+
+## About Wordle:
+Wordle is a web-based word game created and developed by Welsh software engineer Josh Wardle, and owned and published by The New York Times Company.
+
+### Rules:
+ - A 5 letter word has to be guessed within 6 tries.
+ - Answers are not usually plurals.
+ - Alphabets can be repeated.
+ - After each guess, the color of the letters will change to show how close your guess was to the word.
+ - If an alphabet turns green, the letter is in the word and in the right spot.
+ - If an alphabet turns red, the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot.
+ - If an alphabet turns white, the letter is not in the word.
+
+The application is intelligent when it comes to double letter guesses. If the guess is 'Abyss' and the word is 'Space', only one of the s' will display in red. 
+
+Since the aim of this project was to explore file manipulation, I have not added an extensive list of 5-letter words. If the player wishes to add to the game's vocabulary, the code provides a way to do so.
