'wordler' game object (as generated by new_wordler).

Adds the assessment to the corresponding list item in game$assess. This assessment should be considered as how the guesses should be displayed to the user and replicates the behaviour of the WORDLE game (https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/).

For each letter in each guess, one of the following assessments are made:

'not_in_word' - the letter is not present in the target word (or has already been flagged as 'in_word' earlier in the word).
'in_word' - the letter is in the target word. More specifically, the first instance of the letter in the guess present in the word. Subsequent instances are flagged as 'not_in_word'.
'in_position' - the letter is in the same position in the target word.
