Birdie Wordie

About

🏌️ About

Birdie Wordie is a fresh twist on classic word-guessing games with a golf-themed scoring system. Solve the puzzle in:

2 moves → 🦅 Eagle

3 moves → 🐦 Birdie

4 moves → ⛳ Par

And so on...

Your game results contribute to a golf-style handicap, letting you track your long-term performance.

The game's word lists are based on:

1. Valid Words: Derived from the TWL06 Scrabble dictionary
2. Solution Words: A curated list of common English words

Offensive terms have been filtered from both dictionaries.

🎯How to Play

Your goal is to guess the hidden word randomly selected from the solution set. You can input guesses using an on-screen or physical keyboard. All guesses must be valid words found in the TWL06 dictionary.

When you submit a guess (via Enter or the Take Shot button), each letter is colored:

Olive: Correct letter in the correct position

Lemon: Correct letter in the wrong position

Silver: Letter not in the word

Red/Blue: Invalid word (not in dictionary)

Use ⌫ or Backspace to delete letters one at a time.

If a letter appears more than once in the target word, only the first matching position is counted unless the letter is in the correct spot.

You win when all letters are olive!

To start a new game, press Shift + Enter or tap New Game.

📊 Setting PAR
Birdie Wordie features an AI solver (built using ChatGPT!) that attempts to solve each puzzle 10 times. The average number of moves becomes the par for that puzzle, ranging from 3 to 5.

Don’t worry — the AI is efficient but not always clever. You can beat it.

Each game shows one of the AI’s successful paths after you finish.
