Wtf does this do

Vue Wordle is a browser-based recreation of the popular word-guessing game Wordle, built using Vue (a web framework that makes interactive websites easier to create). You play it directly in your web browser without installing anything, just visit the live demo link and start guessing five-letter words. The game works like the original: you have six attempts to guess a word, and after each guess, tiles change color to tell you how close you are. Green means you got the letter in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong place, and gray means it's not in the word at all. The challenge is figuring out the daily word using logic and common English vocabulary. What makes this version special is a fun twist: you can create custom Wordles and share them with friends. To do this, you take any five-letter word, encode it using base64 (a simple text encoding method), and add it to the URL. When someone clicks your custom link, they'll play to guess your chosen word instead of the daily one. This also means you can use words that aren't in the standard dictionary, letting you create inside jokes or themed word games just for your friends. The creator open-sourced the code as a learning project, it's available for other developers to study and build on. If you're someone learning to code or curious how web games are built, this is a relatively simple and readable example. The original Wordle game itself is owned by its creators, and this version is a fan-made interpretation meant purely for fun and educational purposes.
