What is the origin of Wordle?

Initially developed by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle quickly grew into a worldwide sensation, with thousands of players globally each day. Fan-created alternative versions also emerged, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that require guessing multiple words simultaneously.

Wordle ultimately became so successful that the New York Times acquired it, and TikTok creators even stream themselves playing it live.

What’s the ideal starting word for Wordle?

The ideal starting word for Wordle is one that resonates with you. However, if you want to take a more tactical approach, we have some suggestions to help you choose a word that may lead you to the solution more quickly. One suggestion is to pick a word that contains at least two different vowels, along with common consonants like S, T, R, or N.

What became of the Wordle archive?

The complete archive of previous Wordle puzzles was initially accessible for anyone to enjoy whenever they wanted, but it was subsequently removed, with the website’s creator mentioning that it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then introduced its own Wordle Archive, available exclusively to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle becoming more challenging?

It may seem like Wordle is getting tougher, but it’s actually not any more difficult than it was when it first launched. You can enable Wordle’s Hard Mode if you’re looking for a greater challenge, though.
