GHOST is an old paper and pen game that is like a mix between Wordle and that old board game Mastermind. In the original you play against another person. You start by each writing down your own 5-letter secret word. Then you take turns trying to guess the other person's word. The clues are Mastermind style, meaning you get the number of correct letters that were in the correct location and the number of correct letters in the wrong position, but you have to figure out which letters those are yourself.
In this version, you can play against the computer, just trying to guess the random word.

I took a lot of parts from Josh W Comeau's Joy of React Wordle project as a starting point. I also used this project as a way to play around with some of the course material, like the reducer/context pattern for handling game data and game actions. Thanks Josh!
