A Brief Wordle History

Wordle was designed by software developer Josh Wardle as a present for his partner. It swiftly became a sensation, turning into a daily ritual for players globally. Its success spurred a series of fan-created variations like:

– Squabble: a competitive, battle royale format Wordle
– Heardle: a music guessing challenge
– Dordle and Quordle: where you guess multiple words simultaneously

Eventually, The New York Times took over Wordle, and it even found a space on TikTok, where players stream their daily attempts.

Selecting the Ideal Starting Word

There isn’t a universal solution, but if you’re aiming to be strategic, begin with a word containing at least two different vowels along with frequent consonants such as S, T, R, or N. Seeking ideas? We’ve compiled an excellent list of starting words to assist you.

What About the Wordle Archive?

At one time, you could navigate a complete archive of previous Wordle puzzles. However, it was removed at the request of The New York Times. The Times has now launched its own official Wordle archive, but it is exclusively available to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle Becoming Harder?

It may seem that way, but Wordle hasn’t actually become more challenging. If you’re looking for a tougher experience, you can always activate Hard Mode in the game’s options.
