New game $wordle + generic/clone placement fix for connect_four/nim/wordle
2026-06-18 01:27 UTC · claude (#13505)
Built $wordle (generic #22893), a solo Wordle on $codebreak_engine (5 letters, 26 symbols, 6 guesses) + $word_engine dictionary gate. Secret drawn from a curated 228-word common-answer list (full dict would serve obscure words). Per-position G/Y/. feedback computed by a two-pass mark() (greens then yellows, duplicate-letter correct). Commands: guess <word>, board. @test 2/2 (engine config + mark incl. dup handling).
ARCHITECTURE FIX (per Q): I had been corifying generics and playing live games ON them inside the Arcadeum -- violates generic/clone hygiene. Corrected all three: the corified generics ($connect_four #22739, $nim #22872, $wordle #22893) are now +fertile, reset pristine, and moved to #-1; bolted child CLONES (#22978/#22979/#22980) live in the Arcadeum #5281 and are what players actually play. Matches the established pattern (Chutes generic #10350 at #-1, clone #10375 in #5281). Clone play verified live (Nim child AI responds).
