What is the origin of Wordle?

Initially developed by engineer Josh Wardle as a present for his partner, Wordle rapidly evolved into a worldwide sensation, with thousands participating every day. Fan-created alternatives include Squabble, Heardle, Dordle, and Quordle, which require guessing multiple words simultaneously.

Wordle gained such immense popularity that it was acquired by the New York Times, and creators on TikTok even broadcast themselves playing.

What is the ideal starting word for Wordle?

The ideal starting word for Wordle is one that you connect with. For a more strategic method, think of a word that includes at least two different vowels alongside common consonants like S, T, R, or N.

What became of the Wordle archive?

The full archive of previous Wordle puzzles was originally accessible for everyone to enjoy, but it was later removed at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times subsequently launched its own Wordle Archive for subscribers of NYT Games.

Is Wordle becoming more challenging?

It may seem like Wordle is becoming tougher, but it’s no harder than it was at the beginning. You can enable Wordle’s Hard Mode for an increased challenge.
