Creating a Wordle Game with Cursor

In this lesson, we’ll build a fully functional Wordle-style game using Django and Cursor’s AI-assisted workflow. This project will help us apply everything we’ve learned in a real-world scenario.

We’ll learn how to:

• Use a high-level prompt to plan and scaffold a complete Django project.

• Implement multi-file logic for a browser-based Wordle game.

• Collaborate with the AI agent to handle iterations and refine features.

• Debug tricky behavior using screenshots and contextual prompts.

• Use session-aware logic to maintain game state across guesses.

• Push our finished code to GitHub directly from Cursor using the Git integration.
