A Brief Wordle Background

Wordle was initially developed by software engineer Josh Wardle as a present for his partner. It swiftly gained popularity, turning into a daily habit for players across the globe. Its success led to an array of offshoots and adaptations, such as:

– Squabble: A battle royale-inspired version of Wordle
– Heardle: A music guessing challenge
– Dordle and Quordle: Variations that compel you to guess several words simultaneously

Ultimately, The New York Times acquired Wordle, and it’s now included in their games collection. You’ll even discover Wordle content on TikTok, where creators stream their daily trials.

What’s the Ideal Starting Word?

There isn’t a universal answer, but if you aim to be tactical, opt for a word containing at least two distinct vowels and common consonants like S, T, R, or N. Looking for ideas? Refer to our guide on the top Wordle starting words.

What Happened to the Wordle Archive?

There was once a fan-generated archive of all previous Wordle puzzles, but it was removed at the insistence of The New York Times. Nevertheless, NYT now provides its own official Wordle Archive—though it’s exclusively available to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle Becoming More Challenging?

It may seem so, but the difficulty level has remained consistent since the game’s inception. If you’re seeking a greater challenge, try turning on Hard Mode in the game settings.
