What is the origin of Wordle?

Initially developed by engineer Josh Wardle as a present for his partner, Wordle swiftly turned into a global sensation, attracting thousands of daily players. Fan-created alternate versions also appeared, such as the battle royale Squabble, the music recognition game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that challenge players to guess multiple words at once.

Wordle gained such popularity that it was acquired by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even broadcast their gameplay live.
