Origin of Wordle
Wordle was initially created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, though it quickly spread until it became an international phenomenon. Thousands of players across the globe tackle Wordle each day, with some fans even having created alternate versions of the daily word puzzle game. These include battle royale format Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. The popularity of Wordle even reached such heights that the New York Times bought it earlier this year, while TikTok creators live-stream themselves playing it.
Wordle Strategy
The goal of Wordle is to have fun, and there’s no right way to have fun. Just choose whatever starting word feels right to you, and don’t let anyone shame you for it. However, if you want to take a more strategic approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that will spark joy. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.
Wordle Updates
The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles used to be available for anyone to play, but it has since been taken down at the request of the New York Times. Wordle isn’t getting harder by itself, but you can enable Hard Mode for a tougher challenge. Occasionally, Wordle may accept two different solutions as correct due to changes in the word list after the New York Times acquired it.
