Wordle Bot

This is a simple bot inspired by Wordle game.

The bot is entirely written in TypeScript. Thanks to grammY Telegram Bot framework. And to datamuse API for word check.

TODOs:

• Add error handlers.
• Meaning of Words: Thinking of adding /meaning command or similar thing to send the meaning of the word at the end of the game daily.
• Better Reminders: Currently we're sending reminders only to people who have played yesterday's game and turned on notifications. I think, it's better to nudge the users who haven't played the game for a while like 7 days or more to play.

Thanks ❤️

Show some love by sharing the bot with your friends!
