Class WordleTester

java.lang.Object

wordletester.WordleTester

public class WordleTester
extends java.lang.Object

This class provides methods for you to test your Wordle code.

Creating a WordleTester generates a secret word that your program must find.

Your program is responsible for deciding a word to guess. Once your code has decided on a word to guess, call the WordleTester getResponse(String guess) method to find out the color response to your guess. The response will be a String like GGYNG which represents which letters you have correct and in what positions.
