What is the origin of Wordle?

Initially developed by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle quickly became a global sensation, with countless individuals around the world participating daily. Alternative versions of Wordle created by enthusiasts also emerged, such as the battle royale Squabble, the music identification game Heardle, and adaptations like Dordle and Quordle that require you to guess multiple words simultaneously.

Wordle gained such popularity that it was acquired by the New York Times, and TikTok users even stream themselves playing.
