Wordheme (GDevelop Template)

Wordheme is a complete daily word game template for GDevelop 5.

Features two game modes, 17,170 English words, an interactive tutorial, persistent statistics, and a share grid. Every tunable value is managed via a single Config variable, and no scene hardcodes a single displayed string.

What's in it

• Daily word guessing loop: Type a word, get color feedback, 6 tries.
• On-screen keyboard: Tracks letters you've tried.
• Stats screen: Streaks, best streak, games played, letter accuracy.
• Easy to translate: Just change the text to your language.
• Tutorial: Interactive guide for new players.
• Polish: Scene transitions, custom cursor, sound effects.
• Clean code: Well-organized events and comments in event sheets.

Why grab this

All the logic is done. Word matching, keyboard, stats, tutorial, settings, it all works out of the box. Swap the art and word list, and you've got your own game ready to publish.

Good for

Anyone who wants to create a daily word game without building the guessing logic and UI from scratch.

Gameplay Features

• Two Modes: Daily Word draws from a day number counted since a configurable epoch date (same word for everyone each day, with a UTC midnight countdown). By Theme displays the theme above the grid from the first guess.
• Guess Evaluation: Two-pass computation for correct, present, and absent letters (duplicate letters resolve accurately). Letters reveal in a tile-flip cascading animation. Invalid words trigger a visual shake and status message.
• Keyboard Layouts: Easily switch between AZERTY and QWERTY in the project configuration.
• Interactive Tutorial: Guided first round walks players through rules step-by-step across three guesses. Does not count toward statistics and can be reset anytime from settings.
• Share Grid: Generates an emoji grid and ready-to-paste text copied directly to the clipboard (never reveals letters).
• Statistics: Tracks six persistent figures (played, words found, win rate, current streak, best streak, letters found) in a dedicated panel and background display.
• Pause & Save: Pause panel with 2-step give up confirmation. Mid-round exits save progress automatically and restore on return.
