javawordleclone's Issues

TODO Ideas

• Plan structure
• Write test cases
• Improve word evaluation logic!!!!
• Way to view stats
• Way to set the word from UI
• Save progress on close (serialize)
• "Advanced settings" like number of tries or play with defaults

Improving Letter Evaluation

Iterate through the answer word and for every letter do the following:

1. check the location where is should be in the guess.
2. ONLY if it's not where it should be, then iterate through the guess starting form the front and mark only the first occurrence as yellow.
3. Continue for every letter and if we find the letter but it's already marked, then skip it and keep checking down the word.

Word Casing

Let's convert the user-inputted words to all caps for displaying. Then because the word lists are in all ower cases we will need to make sure to compare by .equalsIgnoreCase()
