   Subject: Wordle for DOS in 250 bytes   
      
      
      
   DOS program for Wordle ; was 380 ish bytes but by deleting text messages and   
   disallowing backspace I have a version in under 256 bytes. Tested in a CMD box   
   on an XP machine.   
      
   You'll need to supply the wordlist file ("wordle2u.lst"); each word must be 5   
   letters in caps followed by 2 intervening chars (i.e double space or a crlf   
   pair). The list must be in alphabetical sort order. I can post that if   
   required. [I don't think    
   ETUDE is a valid word; I changed it to EXUDE]   
      
   Keys are A-Z,a-z, CsrL/R, Enter, Esc; uses BIOS for chr to scrn and keyin. 6   
   goes to win. exact match letters shown in reverse green, nearby chrs shown in   
   reverse brown. 'Words' not on the list aren't tested, don't count as guesses.   
      
   The randomising code is quite a botch, and there's a known problem with the   
   cursor not appearing 1) at start, 2) disappearing on 5th char input. I can't   
   seem to fix that.
