Requires a reMarkable Paper Pro tablet with the AppLoad launcher, installs in one step via remagic or reManager.
InkWordle is a version of the word puzzle Wordle made for the reMarkable Paper Pro, a handwriting focused e-ink tablet. Instead of tapping letters on a screen keyboard, the player writes each guess by hand with the tablet's pen, and the tablet reads the handwriting itself to fill in the grid. There is no keyboard on screen at all, only six rows of five boxes to write into. The handwriting recognition happens entirely on the tablet using a small neural network trained on a public handwritten character dataset, compiled to run natively on the device's ARM processor. There is no large language model involved, no cloud service, and no internet connection needed at any point, so the game works fully in airplane mode. Because the recognizer only wakes briefly when the player pauses writing, and the e-ink screen only redraws the parts that change, the app is described as light on battery use. Once a guess is written and confirmed, it is scored the familiar Wordle way: green for a correct letter in the correct spot, amber for a correct letter in the wrong spot, and gray for a letter not in the word, with a tracker along the bottom showing every letter tried so far. The game uses the real Wordle answer list and accepted guess list, so hidden words are common and any valid word a player writes is accepted. Players can fix a mistaken letter using the pen's eraser tip or by tapping a box to clear it. The app installs on the tablet through a tool called remagic or through the reManager and Vellum app libraries, and it runs using the standard AppLoad launcher. The project is released under the GPLv3 license and includes build-from-source instructions for anyone who wants to compile it themselves.
