What’s the origin of Wordle?

Initially developed by engineer Josh Wardle as a present for his partner, Wordle rapidly evolved into a global phenomenon, with thousands engaging daily. Enthusiasts also crafted alternative versions, such as the battle royale Squabble, the music game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that necessitate guessing several words simultaneously.

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

Which is the optimal starting word for Wordle?

Is Wordle becoming more challenging?
