A Brief Wordle Background
Wordle was initially developed by software engineer Josh Wardle as a surprise for his partner. It rapidly became a worldwide phenomenon, with millions participating each day. The game inspired numerous variations, such as:
– Squabble: A battle royale version of Wordle
– Heardle: A music guessing challenge
– Dordle and Quordle: Guess several words simultaneously
Eventually, the New York Times purchased Wordle, leading it to even become a popular trend on TikTok.
What’s the Best Starting Word for Wordle?
The optimal starting word is one that features a blend of vowels and frequent consonants. If you aim to be tactical, choose a word with at least two distinct vowels and consonants like S, T, R, or N. Need some ideas? We’ve compiled a list of excellent starting words to test out.
What Happened to the Wordle Archive?
Previously, there was a publicly accessible archive of all previous Wordle puzzles. However, it was removed following a request from the New York Times. Now, NYT Games subscribers can access an official Wordle archive via the Times’ platform.
Is Wordle Becoming More Challenging?
It might seem that way, but Wordle has not genuinely become more difficult. However, if you’re seeking additional challenges, you can always enable Hard Mode in the game settings.
