FAQ

How can I change the length of a guess?

The default configuration is for solutions and guesses of length five, but it is flexible enough to handle other lengths, even variable lengths each day.

To configure for a different constant length:

• Update the WORDS array in src/constants/wordlist.ts to only include words of the new length.
• Update the VALID_GUESSES array in src/constants/validGuesses.ts to only include words of the new length.

To configure for variable lengths:

• Update the WORDS array in src/constants/wordlist.ts to include words of any of the variable lengths desired.
• Update the VALID_GUESSES array in src/constants/validGuesses.ts to include words of any of the variable lengths desired.

Note that guesses are validated against both the length of the solution, and presence in VALID_GUESSES.

How can I create a version in another language?

• In .env:
  • Update the title and the description
  • Set the REACT_APP_LOCALE_STRING to your locale
• In public/index.html:
  • Update the "You need to enable JavaScript" message
  • Update the language attribute in the HTML tag
  • If the language is written right-to-left, add dir="rtl" to the HTML tag
• Update the name and short name in public/manifest.json
• Update the strings in src/constants/strings.ts
• Add all of the five letter words in the language to src/constants/validGuesses.ts, replacing the English words
• Add a list of goal words in the language to src/constants/wordlist.ts, replacing the English words
• Update the "Settings" modal in src/components/modals/SettingsModal.tsx
• Update the "Info" modal in src/components/modals/InfoModal.tsx
• If the language has letters that are not present in English update the keyboard in src/components/keyboard/Keyboard.tsx
• If the language is written right-to-left, prepend \u202E (the unicode right-to-left override character) to the return statement of the inner function in generateEmojiGrid in src/lib/share.ts

How can I add usage tracking?

This repository includes support for Google Analytics or Plausible Analytics, but, by default, this is disabled.

To enable Google Analytics:

• Create a Google Analytics 4 property and obtain the measurement ID (of the format G-XXXXXXXXXX)
• In .env, add REACT_APP_GOOGLE_MEASUREMENT_ID=G-XXXXXXXXXX

Keep in mind that your region might have legislation about obtaining a user's consent before enabling trackers. This is up to downstream repos to implement.

To enable Plausible Analytics:

• Create a new website with Plausible Analytics with a given domain, e.g. example.app
• In .env, add REACT_APP_PLAUSIBLE_DOMAIN=example.app
