📋 About This Mod
WordleHack
WordleHack introduces a new hacking minigame to terminals which has you guess a word in a limited number of attempts, widely known as Wordle.
How is that different from the original hacking minigame, you ask?
WordleHack doesn't limit you to a few predefined words that you need to choose from the screen. Instead, you use your keyboard or the on-screen keyboard to guess any word you wish.
The individual letters of your guess will then be colored based on correctness:
Green for a letter that is in the right place.
Yellow for a letter that is elsewhere in the word, but not here.
No change for a letter that does not appear in the word at all.
The on-screen keyboard will also reflect this, coloring correct letters and greying out incorrect ones.
We all know that a picture is worth a thousand words and videos are even better, so to see the mod in action, you can watch this video by Ivan Perdona, which he kindly allowed me to post here:
