A Brief Wordle History
Wordle was initially developed by software engineer Josh Wardle as a surprise gift for his partner. It rapidly gained popularity, turning into a daily routine for players globally. Its success led to a series of spin-off games, such as:
– Squabble: A battle royale version of Wordle
– Heardle: A music guessing game
– Dordle and Quordle: Variants where you guess multiple words simultaneously
Eventually, Wordle was acquired by The New York Times, and it is now included in the NYT Games collection. The game’s popularity even triggered a trend of TikTok users streaming their daily attempts live.
What’s the Optimal Starting Word for Wordle?
There isn’t a universal answer, but if you wish to play tactically, consider starting with a word that contains at least two different vowels along with some common consonants like S, T, R, or N. Looking for ideas? We have recommendations for the best starting words in Wordle.
What Happened to the Wordle Archive?
At first, fans could access an unofficial archive of previous Wordle puzzles. However, it was removed at the request of The New York Times. In its stead, the NYT now offers an official Wordle Archive, but it’s restricted to NYT Games subscribers.
Is Wordle Becoming More Difficult?
It may feel like the puzzles are getting trickier, but Wordle has not actually ramped up its difficulty. That said, if you’re seeking more challenge, you can enable Hard Mode in the game’s settings.
