A Brief Wordle Background

Wordle was developed by software engineer Josh Wardle as a present for his partner. It quickly turned into a viral phenomenon, with players worldwide incorporating it into their daily habits. The game’s success led to an influx of fan-created spin-offs, such as:

– Squabble – a competitive Wordle showdown
– Heardle – a music guessing game
– Dordle and Quordle – where you guess two or four words simultaneously

In the end, The New York Times acquired Wordle, and it even became a favorite for TikTok creators who livestream their daily challenges.

Selecting the Perfect Starting Word

While the ideal Wordle starter word is ultimately your choice, a more tactical method can assist you. Aim for a word that includes at least two different vowels and popular consonants like S, T, R, or N. Looking for ideas? We have a collection of strong starter words to help you get going.

What Happened to the Wordle Archive?

A public archive of all previous Wordle puzzles used to exist, but it was removed at the behest of The New York Times. However, NYT has since introduced its own official Wordle Archive—though it is exclusively available to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle Becoming More Challenging?

It may seem that Wordle is becoming more difficult, but the level of challenge hasn’t shifted since the game’s inception. That said, if you’re seeking more of a test, you can always activate Hard Mode in the game settings.
