Whirdle was my addition to the numerous Wordle clones floating out there in cyberspace. I had taken a look at some of them and noticed some didn't replicate Wordle's logic very well. I also thought of some features that I would have liked to see added. And then I thought, "Well, why not add them?" And Whirdle soon thereafter was born. The app is full-stack, having saved the word bank and keyboard letters on MongoDB. It also paves the way for when I add login functionality and begin saving users' stats. The project definitely gave me a better understanding and appreciation of React hooks. Between the logic of the game and the CSS involved, it was a fun, highly interesting and, at times, challenging project to undertake.
