ghcr.io/clupasq/word-mastermindWhat is word-mastermind?
Word Mastermind is a self-hosted web game that clones Wordle's mechanics but removes the daily limit, letting users play endless rounds. It supports custom dictionary files for different languages and word lengths. The game runs as a Node.js Fastify server with a Vue.js frontend, served via Docker or directly with Node.js 22. No database is required as game state is kept in memory. The UI includes a dark mode toggle and a responsive layout that works on mobile browsers.
