/wɚdəl/ is a remake of the word-guessing game Wordle, but with a unique twist. Instead of guessing words based on their English spelling, you'll be guessing words based on their pronunciation in North American English using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
The game uses pronunciations from the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, a popular resource for mapping English words to their phonetic representations. However, please note that the provided pronunciations may not match your specific dialect. The focus is on North American English, and some phonetic features, like aspiration, are simplified for easier gameplay.
In /wɚdəl/, the main goal is to guess the correct pronunciation of a target word in North American English within a limited number of attempts. Each guess is made by typing an IPA-based representation of the word's pronunciation. The IPA symbols represent specific sounds.
You have 12 attempts to guess the target word's pronunciation. After each guess, you'll receive feedback to help you refine your guesses. If an IPA symbol is both present in the target word's pronunciation and in the correct position, it will be highlighted in green. If an IPA symbol is present in the target word's pronunciation but in the wrong position, it will be highlighted in yellow. IPA symbols that are not present in the target word's pronunciation will be indicated in gray.
