semantle (semantic wordle) is a wonderful wordle-inspired word-guessing game. it utilizes word embeddings (in their case, word2vec) to calculate how “semantically close” a guess is to the secret word.

it is fun to play, but language intuition always works better in your native language. in my case, it’s russian. so, using an open-source embeddings navec and a couple of other NLP tools, i hacked together a clone. also, i had a lot of fun writing frontend in svelte and fell in love with this framework!
