The Origins of Wordle
Engineer Josh Wardle originally created Wordle for his partner, but the word guessing game has gained popularity worldwide. The New York Times eventually acquired Wordle, leading to the development of fanmade versions like Squabble and Heardle, as well as variations such as Dordle and Quordle.
Changes to the Wordle Archive
The complete archive of past Wordle puzzles was once accessible for users to enjoy. However, at the request of the New York Times, the archive has now been removed. This change was made by the website’s creator, following the acquisition of Wordle by the New York Times.
Wordle Difficulty and Solutions
Despite any perceived increase in difficulty, Wordle itself is not becoming harder. For those seeking more challenge, Hard Mode is an option. Additionally, there may be days where two different solutions are accepted due to changes made by the New York Times post-acquisition. Refreshing your browser before beginning a new puzzle can help avoid any confusion.
