A Quick Wordle Background

Wordle was initially developed by software engineer Josh Wardle as a surprise for his partner. The game quickly gained popularity, captivating players globally. Its success led to a surge of fan-created spin-offs, including:

– Squabble: A battle royale edition
– Heardle: A music guessing game
– Dordle and Quordle: Variants that challenge you to guess several words simultaneously

Eventually, Wordle became so sought-after that The New York Times acquired it. The game even caught on TikTok, with creators broadcasting their gameplay live.

What’s the Best Opening Word in Wordle?

The perfect opening word is one that resonates with you—but if you’re looking for a strategic approach, choose a word featuring at least two different vowels and common consonants like S, T, R, or N. Need help picking? We have several suggestions to kickstart your game.

What Happened to the Wordle Archive?

There was once a public archive of previous Wordle puzzles, but it was removed at The New York Times’ request. However, NYT now provides its own Wordle archive, although it’s exclusive to Games subscribers.

Is Wordle Becoming More Challenging?

It may seem like Wordle is getting tougher, but the level of difficulty has remained consistent since its debut. If you’re seeking a greater challenge, you can always turn on Hard Mode in the game’s settings.
