Compoundle

Compoundle is a word game similar to Jotto, Wordle and the various derivatives that have been going around recently.  This variation changes the clues to show you which letters in your guess are adjacent in the secret word (but not where they appear within the word).  Size of the words can be varied (I think this variation plays best when words are not fixed to a particular length) and the dictionary can be configured to choose more common or more rare words.

See the in-game help for more details.

• Fixed a bug where if a letter appeared twice in both the guess and secret, only one of the matches would be highlighted in the clue.
• Improved the word list to include inflected variants of common words.
