Wordle: An Advanced Engineering Version of the Popular Word Game

Like ChatGPT, the Wordle game has also taken the internet by storm!

You have to guess a five-letter word in max six attempts.

Here's the more advanced engineering version of Wordle: https://t.co/eDTSy0MQ98

You have to enter a five-letter word guess.
Here's how it works:

If a letter in your guess is in the correct position in the target word, it will be marked green.

If a letter in your guess is in the target word, but in the wrong position, it will be marked yellow.

And if a letter is not in the target word, it will be marked gray. pic.twitter.com/CZEfd1JMk1

In the typical Wordle game, anyone may make fraudulent claims with ease as there's no way to verify the proof.

For instance, there is no way to confirm it if I claim to have gotten the word on the first try.

There's a technique called ZK Proof using which we can verify if a person is claiming correctly without revealing the actual word.

In simple words, ZKP is a way for one person to prove to another person that they know something without revealing what they know.

https://t.co/c6FxMMhMmZ - built using @HypersapceOrg's ZKVM called the "Nanochain" — a zero-knowledge proof driven Wordle game that runs natively in the browser using Hyperspace’s general purpose WASM-based ZKVM.

I solved it in three attempts and here's the proof: https://t.co/DMg7vkkfjF

Every time you play it, it generates a ZK Proof, in the browser, which you can share on Twitter and which can be verified by others - simply using their browser.

This ZK Wordle is just a glimpse of how the future will look like.

This general-purpose proof generation and verification happens within milliseconds - as fast as a Google search, and this will be the default web3 UX for games to social apps, as Hyperspace comes increasingly online.
