Warble

The word-guessing game

Warble is a native Linux word-guessing game built in Vala and Gtk for elementary OS.

Figure out the word before your guesses run out!

• Three difficulty levels
• Almost 5k possible answers
• Need a break? Close the game and automatically pick back up where you left off

Warble is inspired by (and not affiliated with) the recently popular online game Wordle (which itself is reminiscent of the late 80's game show Lingo).

Installation

If you are not on elementary OS, you can install Warble from Flathub:

$ flatpak install flathub com.github.avojak.warble

Community Packages

The officially supported method of installing Warble is via the flatpak, however there are several other packages maintained by the community for support on other platforms:

Source	Channel/Branch	Version
Snapcraft	stable
	edge
Fedora	rawhide
	f37
	f36
	f35
AUR

Install from Source

You can install Warble by compiling from source using flatpak-builder:

$ flatpak-builder build com.github.avojak.warble.yml --user --install --force-clean
$ flatpak run --env=G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all com.github.avojak.warble

Another helpful environment variable to set is GTK_DEBUG=interactive for investigating UI and styling issues.

Word List

The dictionary.txt word list is sourced from sindresorhus/word-list.

Project Status

This project is very much in-progress and has a lot of remaining work. Check out the Projects page to track progress towards the next milestone.

Please keep in mind that at this time I am developing Warble as a personal project in my limited free time to learn Vala and contribute back to the elementary OS community, so do not be offended if I reject a pull request or other contribution.
