Hi there, Probably many of you have seen people posting their Wordle results. It is a nice little game that originally was written fo English speakers. Then several open source versions popped up that were then forked to create versions in many languages. I have a partial list of Wordle clones. I was hoping the author of one of these open source versions would make it easy to add other languages and then people would not need to host their own translated versions. So far I have not seen that happen. Anyway, this has nothing to do with Perl. Enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |
