A Minecraft player has recreated the popular online word-guessing game Wordle in-game, with a fully playable version made using Command Blocks. The popularity of Wordle has quickly grown over the last few months thanks to its simple but addictive gameplay. As a result, the game has inspired many similar versions, with a long list that now stretches to Minecraft.

Anyone familiar with Minecraft knows that it is possible to create some surprisingly sophisticated contraptions in the game, even without the help of mods. The use of Command Blocks and various Redstone components allow players to make highly functional computers systems if they have the dedication needed to write the code and build the often-towering circuit structures. One brilliant example of the way Command Blocks can be put to use by an ingenious player is a contraption that "magnetizes" copper blocks to build a Minecraft statue, taking advantage of copper's oxidizing properties to ultimately create a color-accurate Creeper.

This new build follows the long Minecraft tradition of recreating various aspects of pop culture, this time focusing on Wordle. Reddit user urgle_gurgle shared a video of their Wordle clone, dubbed Word Hunt, showing their creation in action and also providing a downloadable version of the world containing the game in the comments. urgle_gurgle's build functions through a complex set of code utilizing Python and base26, allowing them to replicate the word checking and randomized daily word features of Wordle. Interestingly, urgle_gurgle has made no mention of curating the dictionary, meaning that Word Hunt's solutions may include the extremely obscure words removed from Wordle.

Word Hunt also supports a form of multiplayer play, allowing Minecraft players on the same server to go head to head in a race to solve the puzzle first. This alone promises to make Word Hunt a popular remake; Wordle's web-based design cannot support such a feature, although players can still compare scores when it comes to how many guesses it took them to find the correct word. The fact that this was accomplished in Minecraft is another factor in the game's favor. It serves as both a testament of skill and a point of interest to casual browsers, as past projects in a similar vein have shown. A Minecraft recreation of Google's minigame T-Rex Run, for example, drew praise for both its beautiful visual style and the huge amount of work that clearly went into making it playable.

Whenever a Minecraft build involving Redstone or Command Blocks shows up, it is sure to be an impressive sight for audiences. The advanced applications of these features allow players to bring to life projects that are as impressive in appearance as they are complex to create. Effectively porting short games to Minecraft is only the beginning of what is possible for dedicated coders and Redstone engineers. Whether the goal is to recreate Wordle, automate buildings or even create a functioning Minecraft calculator, the possibilities seem endless.
