Pokédle is a game inspired by Wordle and LoLdle.
The goal of this game is to guess a secret pokémon, which changes daily.

All pokémons are represented by features such as habitat where they live, their colors, types and evolutions.
After each guess made, you will be given hints on each of these categories relative to the secret pokémon.
Hints will help you figure out what is the secret pokémon by looking at their colors:

• green is an exact match on that same category of the secret pokémon;
  
• yellow is a partial match (meaning there are multiple values and one of them is correct);
  
• red means there's no match at all.
