Wordle, playable from the CLI

This project seeks to emulate Wordle in your shell, using Textual. This project uses the "official" answers and allowed words lists found in Wordle's source code, but the answer is randomized every time you play the game.

Currently, only the basic functionality of the game is implemented, and various elements are missing, such as the win screen and error popups.
