Wrong Hebrew letters

Open noname453 opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

There are 22 Hebrew letters, but 5 of them have 2 forms: A "regular" form which is used when the letter is at the beginnig or the middle of a word, and a "final" form which is used if the letter is at the end of the word. As an example we can take the word "מים" (water) - the first and last letter is actually the same. Judging the app's behaviour, it treats these letters as two different ones, as can be seen also in this file - https://github.com/Hugo0/wordle/blob/main/webapp/data/languages/he/he_characters.txt The 5 "double" letters are 11 & 12, 14 & 15, 16 & 17, 20 & 21, 22 & 23. If I guess that the word is "לבנים" but the correct word is "מוגדר", I will get a reply that none of the letters in the guessed word are valid, although there is one correct letter (the last letter in the guessed word is the same as the first letter in the correct word, just keep in mind that Hebrew is an rtl language, so the equal letters are מ and ם).
