# Demordle
|
|
|
|
- TODO: come up with a better name.
|
|
|
|
**Demordle** is *democratic wordle*. This is a nebulous premise with multiple interpretations; so instead of picking one, `demordle` implements them all!
|
|
|
|
In all cases, "democratic" means _multiplayer cooperative_ where game actions are decided by vote. The players agree to play ahead of time and share a victory or loss. We also specifically mean _direct_ democracy where every player has equal representation in the voting process.[^representative]
|
|
|
|
[^representative]: Although the team political intrigue of selecting representatives sounds like another fun Wordle variant.
|
|
|
|
However, _what_ exactly are the players voting on?
|
|
|
|
- **OneWord**: Each player votes on a specific _valid word_ to guess.
|
|
- **AllLetters**: Each player can vote which letter is on _every_ spot.
|
|
- **ManyLetters**: Each player can vote which letter _any_ spots are.
|
|
- **OneLetter**: Each player can vote which letter _one_ spot is.
|
|
|
|
In addition, you can contrast _majority voting_ from other options such as _instant-runoff voting_.
|
|
|
|
It's fun to theorize what kind of teamwork might happen with any of the above, but it's more fun to just play the game!
