About Wordle Duel

What it does

A two-player, turn-based Wordle game.

Both players share the same hidden 5-letter target word.

Players take turns submitting one valid 5-letter guess.

All guesses fill a shared 6-row board.

The player whose guess matches the target wins immediately.

If the board fills up with no winner, the game is a draw.

Invalid guesses (wrong length or not in the dictionary) are rejected locally.

The host creates a room and shares a read-write link; the second player joins the link.

Player names and the last used name are remembered in localStorage.

The current space is remembered so a refresh re-enters the same game automatically.

Host can start a new round after a game ends; the starting player alternates.
