What’s the origin of Wordle?

Wordle was initially developed by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner. It rapidly turned into a worldwide phenomenon, with countless players logging in each day. Enthusiasts even invented their own variations, such as the battle royale-style Squabble, the music guessing game Heardle, and multi-word challenges like Dordle and Quordle.

The game’s popularity ultimately resulted in its acquisition by The New York Times, and it has become a favorite among TikTok creators who stream their games live.

What’s an ideal starting word for Wordle?

What happened to the Wordle archive?

There used to be an unofficial archive for playing past Wordle puzzles anytime. Nevertheless, it was removed at the request of The New York Times. Now, NYT provides its own official Wordle Archive, but access is limited to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle becoming more challenging?

It may feel like Wordle has become more difficult, but it’s essentially just as challenging as it was when it first debuted. If you’re looking for a tougher experience, you can always enable Hard Mode in the game settings.
