-# Wordled
-A Wordle based game made in Javascript
+# wordled
 
-**Features**
+A word game similar to [Wordle](https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/), but with
+five different word lists. It chooses a new random word each time, so you can
+play as often as you like, not just once per day. There is no social media
+posting or score keeping, just fun and Wordle skill building.
 
-- 5 levels ranging from beginner to god mode.
-- 2 difficulty settings.
-- Up to 13,000 words to play
-- New score keeping function for each level/difficulty
-- New streak keeping function for each level/difficulty
-- Home screen menu
-- Instructions in game
-- Ability to create a custom list of words
-- New animations
-- Fade in / fade out modal
+The word lists are in the file [assets/js/answers.js](assets/js/answers.js). The
+default contains over 1000 common words. The simplest contains 100 words
+suitable for young children with a limited vocabulary. The most difficult
+contains over 13,000 words. You can even add your own list by following the "add
+a difficulty level" instructions in [assets/js/game.js](assets/js/game.js)
 
-A beginner mode built in complete with 100 words for the younger players. The higher the level, the more words available and the higher the score you get for each word guessed. There's a score penalty for each time you guess wrong as well as if you give up on the word.
+You can play it online at
+[https://monty.github.io/wordled/](https://monty.github.io/wordled/)
 
-To create your own list, simply edit the ```custom``` variable in **assets/js/word.js** then choose the **custom** level in the game.
+You can play it on your computer even with no internet connection. Simply open
+the [index.html](index.html) file in any browser to play.
 
-**No installation required**
