BUGFIXES, NEW VERSIONS, AND SIMILAR TIDBITS
28/4/22
  Version 1.1 released – Found a softlock that happens on rare occasions due to an oversight in the win percentage calculating routine *facepalm*… That should be fixed, BUT…
I decided to add a few requested features to the package!
   – Solution gets displayed after a loss
   – Added a faster cursor speed when the cursor is held down
Therefore, come and download the lastest version for the ultimate NES Wordle experience :D:D:D
10/3/22
  Version 1.03 released – Fixed a minor bug that would display running out of time as a win with no guesses in (But would still result in losing a life)
7/3/22
  Version 1.02 released – Fixed a nasty edge case that would accept non-dictionary “words” in rare cases, as well as generate non-dictionary “solutions”
—–
   Version 1.01 released – fixed a bug with the keyboard attempting to write numbers during gameplay (DOH!). I hope noone got the ultra rare misprint with the yellow keyboard bug I up’d for a minute
Welcome to Wordle! Now available on your NES!!!
That’s right, the latest gaming sensation of 2022 is now available for your favourite 1983 hardware. This package includes the following:
——————————————————————
– Wordle with 3 game modes
– 3 in-game tunes to choose from (Music by Ma2e)
– Complete Wordle dictionary (Pre-NYT amendments, AKA the good dictionary)
– Some cool fx on the title screen 😀
– NTSC & PAL support!
– Family BASIC keyboard support!!!
——————————————————————
GAMEPLAY:
There are 3 game modes:
  1. NES Wordle – 3 lives and you’re out
  2. Timed Wordle – Wordle under a time limit! Gotta go fast!
  3. Chill Wordle – Regular Wordle that you can play forever!
First, choose your mode, then enter your name (for high scores on scored modes). After that, choose your tune to jam to during gameplay and you’re ready to guess some words!!!
The game can be controller with a regular controller, with the D-pad moving your cursor, A pressing keys, and B and START being bound to both RUB and ENTER, respectively. Alternatively, you can use a Family BASIC keyboard if you have a Famicom – or if you use MESEN, which can easily emulate the keyboard accessory 🙂
The rest is just good ol’ Wordle! If you don’t know how to play Wordle, fear not! Here is a guide on how to do so –  https://www.wsj.com/articles/wordle-what-is-word-game-11642016202?tesla=y
