CORDLE - The C90 Version of Wordle

A C90 implementation of the famous word game Wordle. I originally wrote this in Python, and decided to rewrite it in C90, to remediate myself, and to have a project I could work with in my old copy of DOS TurboC. Feel free to do whatever you like with it.

• Ncurses
