assess_guess: Assess a guess against the target word

In DavidASmith/wordler: The 'WORDLE' Game

Assess a guess against the target word

Description

Assesses the guess in list game$guess (index from game$guess_count) against the target word in game$target.

Usage

assess_guess(game)

Arguments

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

Details

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.

Value

'wordler' game object.
