A Brief History of Wordle

Wordle was developed by software engineer Josh Wardle as a present for his partner. It quickly gained traction, turning into a worldwide phenomenon. Enthusiasts soon created their own variations, such as:

– Squabble: A twist with battle royale elements
– Heardle: A game focused on music guessing
– Dordle and Quordle: Guess several words simultaneously

The game’s popularity soared, leading to its acquisition by The New York Times. Now, you can also catch Wordle livestreams on TikTok!

Choosing an Ideal Starting Word

There isn’t a universal approach, but if you aim to play strategically, consider beginning with a word that features at least two distinct vowels and frequent consonants like S, T, R, or N. Need suggestions? We have a list of excellent starting words to assist you.

What Happened to the Wordle Archive?

At first, you could access all past Wordle puzzles through an unofficial archive. However, that was removed at The New York Times’ request. Now, NYT Games subscribers can utilize an official archive of previous puzzles.

Is Wordle Becoming More Challenging?

It may seem like it, but Wordle hasn’t genuinely become harder since its inception. However, if you’re after a greater challenge, you can always activate Hard Mode in the settings.
