Master Word

Guess a 5 letter word in least attempts.

It is using Turborepo to help with managing monorepo workspaces.

Project contains 3 apps workspaces: React frontend for game, NodeJS game server backend and admin UI to manage database. It contains (at the moment) 2 packages workspaces: config-typescript - shared typescript configuration and utils - some helpers used across apps workspaces.

Frontend (Game)

Tech: React, React Router, Typescript, Vite, SASS

Frontend for actual game.

Backend

Tech: NodeJS, Express, MongoDB, Mongoose, Mocha

The backend is using MongoDB document database to store game information e.g. dictionary.

Polish dictionary is stored in the database, there is a logger endpoint for unknown words that is stored in database, at some intervals those "unknown words" will be reviewed and moved into dictionary (using admin page).

English words are provided via the Frontend Masters API https://words.dev-apis.com/word-of-the-day.

Admin

Tech: React, React Router, Redux, Typescript, Vite, MUI, RTK

Frontend for managing backend.
