having trouble figuring out how to properly implement the game logic for Wordle.
One approach you can take is to break down the game into smaller components and tackle them one by one. For example, you can start by creating a GUI with labels for the word to guess and text fields for user input. Then, focus on implementing the logic for checking if a guessed word matches the correct word and updating the display accordingly.
You can also consider creating a class to represent the Wordle game itself, with methods for generating a random word, checking user input, and keeping track of guesses. This can help organize your code and make it easier to test and debug.
Additionally, don’t hesitate to ask for help on specific issues or errors you encounter while implementing Wordle in Java Swing. The Java community is generally helpful and supportive, so don’t be afraid to reach out for assistance.
Overall, breaking down the problem into smaller tasks, organizing your code effectively, and seeking help when needed can help you successfully implement Wordle in Java Swing for your final project. Good luck!
can you share the code you specifically have problems with
Okay, just a moment

import java.awt.;
public class Tile extends JPanel {
private JLabel letterLabel;
public Tile(char letter) {
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(50, 50)); // preferred size for the tile
setBackground(Color.WHITE); // default background color
setLayout(new BorderLayout()); // BorderLayout to center the letter
// add the letter label to the center of the tile
letterLabel = new JLabel(String.valueOf(letter));
letterLabel.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
add(letterLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
// border to the tile with a thickness of 2
setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.LIGHT_GRAY, 2));
}
// method to set the letter of the tile
public void setLetter(char letter) {
letterLabel.setText(String.valueOf(letter));
}

public class Driver

}
}
this is all i have so far
it just creates a grid
My requirements of the project are practically handed to me, it's just I don't know how to actually write them
Class Requirements
Driver Class
Handles user input for the game.
Implements action listeners for the buttons.
Displays a JOptionPane for user input when the "Guess" button is pressed.
Validates user guesses against a list of valid 5-letter words read from a text file.
Provides a popup detailing the rules of the game when the "Help" button is pressed.
Resets the game with a new random word when the "Reset" button is pressed.
Board Class
Manages the graphical interface of the game.
Draws the game board (JPanel with GridLayout) consisting of 6 rows of 5 tile boxes, made with JLabels.
Displays a JPanel containing 3 buttons ("Guess", "Help", "Reset") across the bottom of the window.
Tile Class
Handles background color, and letter of each tile.
Center the contained letter within the tile.
