## What it is
Handle (汉兜) is a web-based Wordle-style guessing game for Chinese four-character idioms (chengyu), where players guess a hidden idiom within limited attempts. It is built with Vue 3, Vite, VueUse, and UnoCSS, and is hosted at handle.antfu.me.

## Use cases
- play a daily Chinese idiom wordle puzzle
- guess chengyu with pinyin and hanzi feedback
- host a self-hosted Chinese wordle clone
- fork the game to customize the idiom database
- learn Chinese idioms through a guessing game

## When to choose
- you want a polished, ready-to-play Chinese hanzi Wordle game
- you want an MIT-licensed Vue 3 codebase to fork for your own word game
- you need a static web app that runs entirely in the browser

## When to avoid
- you need an actively updated answer pool - the idiom list stopped updating after February 2023 and now recycles past answers
- you want a Wordle variant for languages other than Chinese
- you need a native mobile or desktop application
