For fans of the popular online game Wordle.

Check out the deployed site from github pages here: https://www.letterflash.com/


This is an open source, replayable word game built in Angular.

Key features include:

  • Infinite replayability

    • Letter Flash dynamically generates a new word on demand, allowing you to keep playing more throughout the day!
  • Unique options

    • Extreme mode
      • The secret word pulls from the entire dictionary instead of using a curated list. Incredibly difficult, for masochists only!
    • Support for 6 and 7 letter words
      • Use the buttons under the options menu to select a word length
      • New games will generate puzzles of that word length!
    • View previous games, statistics, and more
      • Click the "History" button under the options window to view up to your 100 previously played games!
      • Click the "Statistics" button under the options window to view several statistics about your games, such as win streaks!
      • Got a tough word you just can't figure out? Click the "Concede" button under options to give up and see what the word was!
      • Don't like the current word, or just want to start a new game? Click the "Start new game" button under options!
  • Sharing

    • Share words with friends and family to see how they fare!
      • Letter flash allows you to share specific words via an encoded link which you can send to others
      • The link is included automatically when you share the results of a game you just finished
        • You can also visit the "History" page under options and copy a link there
      • When someone clicks the link, a new game of letter flash will start which uses the word you shared!
  • Open source and actively developed

    • Feel free to check the code out and leave some feedback!
  • Easy to build and run

    • This app is built using Angular and typescript and not much else. Grab the code, grab your favorite IDE, npm install, and have at it!

Special thanks to all of my friends and co-workers who have helped play, test, and play even more of my game to help me refine it!
