What is the origin of Wordle?

Initially developed by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly turned into a global sensation, with countless players participating each day. Fan-created alternate versions of Wordle include battle royale Squabble, music guessing game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that require guessing multiple words simultaneously.

Wordle’s popularity soared to the extent that it was acquired by the New York Times, and TikTok users even stream their gameplay live.

What is the optimal starting word for Wordle?
