Verble is a command-line version of Wordle that mainly features verbs, with a few nouns thrown in. Here's how you can install and play the game:

• The game is automatically built with Github actions, so you can download it from "releases"

• Install PyInstaller
• Download the Verble repository as a ZIP file to your local machine, extract it to a folder, and navigate to that folder in your terminal.
• In your terminal, run the following command(Replace "path/to" with the actual path to the Verble repository): pyinstaller --name "Verble" --add-data "path/to/Verble/words;words" --onefile --clean path/to/Verble/src/main.py --icon=path/to/Verble/icon.ico
• The executable will be created in the <folder>/dist folder
• Run the executable to play the game

• Clone the repo and install Miniconda
• In your terminal, run the command
  conda create --name <env> --file requirements.txt
• Activate the environment with conda activate <env>
• Run the game with python src/main.py

• You have six attempts to guess a five-letter verb which may have multiple instances of the same letter
• After every guess, each letter is marked as either green, yellow or red
  • Green : letter is correct and in the correct position
  • Yellow : letter is in the answer but not in the right position
  • Red : letter is not in the answer at all

• The "complete" list of verbs is derived from the website of Ashley Bovan
• The "most frequent" list of verbs is derived from Google's N-gram corpus.
