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 playing every day across the world. Fan-made alternative versions of Wordle emerged as well, such as the battle royale Squabble, the music quiz Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that require guessing multiple words simultaneously.

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

What is the ideal starting word for Wordle?

The optimal starting word for Wordle is the one that resonates with you. However, if you wish to adopt a more strategic stance, we have several suggestions to help you choose a word that could expedite your path to the solution. One suggestion is to select a word that has at least two different vowels, along with some common consonants such as S, T, R, or N.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

The complete archive of previous Wordle puzzles was initially accessible for anyone to enjoy at their convenience, but it was subsequently removed, with the creator of the website indicating it was taken down at the request of the New York Times. Nevertheless, the New York Times later introduced its own Wordle Archive, which is available exclusively to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle becoming more challenging?

It may seem like Wordle is getting tougher, but it is not actually any more difficult than it was when it first launched. If you are seeking an added challenge, you can enable Wordle’s Hard Mode.
