A Brief Wordle Background

Wordle was initially designed by software developer Josh Wardle as a present for his partner. It swiftly became a viral hit, with players globally attempting to guess the daily five-letter word. Its success sparked a wave of spin-offs and variations, such as:

– Squabble: A battle royale version
– Heardle: A music guessing game
– Dordle and Quordle: Variants where players guess multiple words simultaneously

Eventually, The New York Times purchased Wordle, making it part of their Games collection. The game has even gained traction on TikTok, where creators livestream their daily attempts.

Selecting the Ideal Starting Word

There isn’t a single “ideal” starting word for Wordle, but if you’re going for strategy, consider choosing one that incorporates at least two different vowels alongside common consonants like S, T, R, or N. Need suggestions? We’ve compiled a list of excellent starting words to assist you.

What Happened to the Wordle Archive?

Initially, fans could access a complete archive of previous Wordle puzzles. However, that archive was removed at the request of The New York Times. The Times has since introduced its own Wordle Archive, though it’s only available to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle Becoming More Challenging?

It may seem that Wordle is growing more difficult, but the level of difficulty hasn’t genuinely changed. If you’re craving additional challenge, you can always activate Hard Mode in the game’s settings.
