What is it?

What initially started off as yet another Wordle clone turned into a bit of a different game. Instead of having 24 hours to solve a 5 letter, 6 guess puzzle, you have 60 seconds. The goal is to get the highest streak of correct puzzle answers in a row before either getting one wrong or running out of time. the game resets every 60 seconds or when either the game is won or lost.

How do I play it?

There are two (well three but the third sucks) options:

• On a laptop, desktop, or other device with a hardware keyboard, you can just use that
• On a phone, tablet, or other touchscreen device you can use the onscreen keyboard
• You can also click the onscreen keyboard with a mouse. This is very slow and makes the game tough. This method is not recommended.

How do I run it?

As of now there are three options:

Go to the website running it

1. The application is available at https://www.bendle.xyz. You can play it there.

Run it using npm and vite:

1. clone the repository
2. cd bendle into the repository
3. run npm install to install vite, tailwind, and other required dependencies
4. use npm run dev to run the game using an npm server then open it in a browser. It defaults to http://localhost:3000/ as the location to go to

Build it then run it using your web server of choice

1. clone the repository
2. cd bendle into the repository
3. run npm install to install vite, tailwind, and other required dependencies
4. use npm run build to do a proper build of the application. It will spit out a complete, minified application to the newly created dist directory. From there
5. use your favourite web server to run the newly created app using the contents of dist as your source.
