Line-by-Line Python Project Walkthrough - Wordle Clone in Terminal! 

@jason_kibbe I don't think this is the case I think it will work correctly as coded. The first S will be green the other two yellow which should be the case. Your point one is valid we could add that into the game. Tested by changing the word variable to "sugar" and guessing "swiss". It only turns green if both the index and letter are correct. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

@@ClarityCoders Please visit the rosettacode page for "Wordle comparison" - I am certain you have made a rather common error in the coding.

@@ClarityCoders i coded along in a differentanguage (c++) and had the same error with sugar and swiss. Any idea why that may be? I don’t know how versed you are in cpp, but instead of using “in” like you do in Python, I used “find()”

@@dachampion_9993 ​ Can you share your code on a repl or github? I'd love to check it out.

@@ClarityCoders but the other two s shouldn't turn yellow they aren't in the word because the s is already solved

I haven't watched the video yet but I tried to create a wordle clone myself and to solve this issue, while comparing the user guessed word and the random word char by char, whenever there's a full match (letter exists in the word and is in the same position), or a half match (letter exists in the word) I replace it with a "0". I of course make a list out of the string and call the function with that to be able to do this. Probably not an elegant solution but it works.

@@mertyagmur1743 could u maybe demonstrate how to do that, im new to all of this...

Hey mate, don’t know if you still need the answer, but I ended up coding my own wordle yesterday, and to fix this issue, I made 2, 26-index arrays, one for the word to guess, one for your guess. Each word is then sorted, letter by letter, into the array, where a=0, b=1, c=2… (made this using a small function that transforms to ASCII, then subtracts 97, so a=0 instead of 97…) Then, whenever you’re about to color a letter in orange, simply check that this letter’s index in the guess array doesn’t surpass the number in the word array. If it does, skip coloring it. This ensures that only the correct amount of each letter is colored in.

Had the same problem. If you type cmd and open in Windows. Type pip install termcolor. Restart your computer and it should work otherwise you'll have to do this process after remove and reinstall python.

he's doing a simple method that doesn't really work properly. In order to fix this I had to do 2 things. I had to create a 2nd instance of the secret word as a list ['s', 'e', 'c', 'r', 'e', 't'], then I had to 'cross out' the letters ['s', 'e', '*', 'r', 'e', 't'] in that list as my program matched the letters with my guess. easy enough for the green letters, but for the yellow letters nested for loops were required so I could 'cross out' the letter in the correct index in my list.

@@stewiegreen is it possible if u can explain the nested for loops, and cross out part a little more, im kinda new to this...

See my fork for a solution to mark duplicate letters correctly, based on lists of chars. Once a char is evaluated, it is removed from the list, so that it's no longer checked again. replit.com/@iintorsu/wordle-tutorial

@@ase-fabiz-ger-info1917 checked your eval_attempt function out and it looks good to me. Thanks, I was so close to solving this, but your method works very nicely!

You could check for len(guess) == 5 (string length is 5 characters).
