WORDY: Stata module to play a silly word game and show your guesses on a Stata graph

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: wordy picks a new word every day from a list of 8,938 five-letter words legal in a popular crossword game in 1998. You then have six guesses at the word, and every time you type a guess, a Stata graph appears showing green squares for letters in the right position and yellow squares for a letter that appears in the word but in the wrong position. This may remind you of a different game using colored pegs on an oblong brown plastic board.
