What is the origin of Wordle?

Initially developed by engineer Josh Wardle as a present for his partner, Wordle swiftly transformed into a global phenomenon, engaging thousands of players daily. Enthusiasts also devised alternative versions of Wordle, such as the battle royale Squabble, music guessing game Heardle, and adaptations like Dordle and Quordle that involve guessing several words simultaneously.

Wordle’s immense popularity led to its acquisition by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even stream themselves playing live.
