In-game you can press CtrlC to quit anytime. You can press Enter to validate your current word (note: invalid words will not be validated). Pressing Backspace will remove the last letter.

Once you're on the finish screen you can use the → key to view your statistics for the chosen Wordle type. You can then use the ← key to return to the game overview. Note: random mode does not have statistics.

In random mode, you can press CtrlN on the finish screen to play a new random word.
