I created Wordii to scratch several itches. I wanted to see what it took to implement a 5-letter word game. I wanted to solve many words in rapid succession, without artificial limits. And I wanted to use the excellent Flavour SPA toolkit which I have used several times on other projects.

You may enjoy it if you like:

* Word games without logins or registration

* Fast-paced word games with statistics to share with your friends

* A large dictionary of words (updated recently based on user feedback)

Hundreds of people have already played. See it for yourself!

Technical Details:

* About 1000 lines of Java (non-comment)

* About 200 lines of HTML

* Transpiled to JavaScript using TeaVM ( https://teavm.org )

* SPA Templates, Components, and Expression Language provided by the Flavour framework ( https://teavm.org/docs/flavour/templates.html )



I forgot to mention that additional statistics appear as you reach streak milestones:

* 5 solves in a row

* 10 solves in a row

* 20 solves in a row
