A Brief History of Wordle

Wordle was initially developed by software engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner. It soon became a worldwide phenomenon, with players globally attempting to guess the five-letter word each day.

The game’s success sparked a host of fan-created spin-offs, such as:

– Squabble: A battle royale-style version of Wordle
– Heardle: A music guessing game
– Dordle and Quordle: Variants where you guess multiple words simultaneously

Eventually, The New York Times acquired Wordle, and the game even found a place on TikTok, where creators livestream their daily attempts.

Selecting the Ideal Starting Word

There’s no definitive “best” starting word—it’s all about what suits you. However, if you want to be strategic, consider commencing with a word that contains at least two different vowels and common consonants like S, T, R, or N. Need suggestions? We have some excellent starting word ideas to enhance your chances.

What Happened to the Wordle Archive?

At one time, there was an archive of all previous Wordle puzzles. However, it was removed at The New York Times’ request. Nonetheless, NYT has subsequently launched its own Wordle archive, accessible to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle Becoming More Challenging?

It may appear that the puzzles are becoming harder, but Wordle hasn’t actually changed in difficulty since its inception. If you’re seeking more of a challenge, you can enable Hard Mode in the game’s settings.
