There is also a NES port in the works: https://twitter.com/FG_Software/status/1495400042722897925 And a C64 port: https://twitter.com/roysterini/status/1493540659352985602 A brief quote about compression in the NES port: https://twitter.com/FG_Software/status/1491044035884371971 "Official #Wordle dictionary implemented, and the game can now select a solution from all those found in the original for the cost of 1 extra bit per word! Uncompressed size (Raw text files): 76060 bytes Compressed size: 26256 bytes" https://twitter.com/FG_Software/status/1495298243668099073 "Words are stored in 2 bytes: 15 bits data, 1 bit to check if it's a solution. They're all sorted alphabetically, so I can algorithmically determine the first 2 letters with a lookup table, and stick the last 3 letters in 15 bits. Bit more to it but you can't fit it all in a T

The linked GBC version is my fork with some improvements (and more in the works). The current published release uses a similar compression approach by zeta_two, but in current builds I've switched to the compression by arpruss since total data + decompression code size is now a couple hundred bytes smaller. I did some profiling and code size measurements before switching over. https://github.com/bbbbbr/gb-wordle/blob/compress_arpruss/wo... Speed (and code size somewhat) have improved more since then.

My flashcart's GB emulator doesn't have a color palette that matched perfectly, but works well enough! https://i.imgur.com/ePtY5Jf.jpg Found a GBC implementation as well: https://github.com/bbbbbr/gb-wordle
