Subwaydle

A Wordle-inspired NYC Subway daily puzzle game. Contains some source code lifted from the open-source clone by Hannah Park. Subwaydle is a static JavaScript app, written using Create React App with React, Sass, Semantic UI React and Mapbox. A few Ruby scripts were written to generate JSON data files used by the app.

This version of Subwaydle does not calculate a route based on the date. I made a sloppy edit which randomizes the date and as a result you get a new question every refresh.

The official version of Subwaydle resides at https://subwaydle.com.

This fork runs at https://subwaydle.plausibility.cloud.

Running locally

brew install yarn
yarn install
yarn start

Yarn may be installed through npm as well, if desired.

• To show the map that is displayed after finishing the puzzle: sign up for an account with Mapbox, get a token and add it to an .env file as REACT_APP_MAPBOX_TOKEN. You will also have to add your own map style in src/components/MapFrame.jsx.

• Ruby scripts in the scripts/ directory produce the JSON files in src/data that are used by the app. Warning: viewing the src/data can reveal spoilers to the puzzle! All guesses are checked against the keys in the respective solutions.json file to be a valid trip, and the answers.json contains an array for the answer of each day. The values of the solutions.json object contain an example trip of stations that are traveled through for the trip.
