Enthusiasts also invented alternative versions, including the battle royale Squabble, the music quiz Heardle, and variations such as Dordle and Quordle that challenge you to guess multiple words at once.

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