I’ve always enjoyed the simplicity of games like Wordle and wanted to give it a purpose beyond guessing random words, a way to learn something new every day.

That’s how WADAI was born — a fun twist on the classic daily puzzle, but inspired by world festivities!

From the README.md:

📕 Introduction

Welcome to WADAI, a daily word-guessing game with a global twist.

Each day, the game selects a festivity celebrated somewhere in the world on that date. Your challenge is to guess it in five tries.

Whether it’s Christmas, Diwali, 18 de Septiembre, or a national holiday you’ve never heard of, WADAI turns cultural discovery into a daily puzzle.

🚀 Features

  • Festivity-based Words: Every day’s word comes from a real celebration or cultural event happening somewhere around the world..
  • Wordle-style Gameplay: You have 5 attempts (represented by the letters WADAI) to guess the festivity of the day.
  • Global Awareness: Learn about holidays, traditions, and events across different cultures.
  • One Game per Day: A new festivity unlocks every 24 hours!
