      If you like Wordle and view the New York Times acquisition with some trepidation, then you may wish to use Linux to run this Bash script.

      I leave it to Wheels to see if it runs on the Linux interface in Windows!

        I would love to give it a go, but I haven’t got github on wsl and I haven’t got a clue how to do it. It’s just Ubuntu though, so if you want to give me the idiots guide I will give it a go.

        In the mean time, here is a picture of xcalc, running on wsl, running on Windows 11 🙂

          Just grabbed it via github on Windows and pasted it into home/graham-dearsley. So now I just have a directory with no words in it !

            Well done – now we know the Windows interface will not run it without some modifications. I guess one could just copy the dict file from Ubuntu or import the other word link given in the comments, but it really is not worth the effort – as you say it is all just Bash and Ubuntu.

              Well I got that far so I couldn’t help myself, a quick sudo apt-get install wbritish and we get…

                If you feel like having a go with WSL yourself then the good news is that you now have Windows 11 and it already has all the virtualization stuff loaded, so all you have to do is open an admin command prompt and type

                wsl –install

                That should be it, not like it were in my day with an insider build of Windows 10 !

                  that’s meant to be 2 dashes, not one long one.
