What is the origin of Wordle?
Initially developed by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle quickly gained fame, turning into a global sensation, with countless players participating every day. Fan-made versions of Wordle emerged as well, including the battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that challenge you to guess multiple words simultaneously.
Wordle ultimately gained such popularity that it was acquired by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even stream themselves playing.
What is the ideal starting word for Wordle?
The ideal Wordle starter word is one that resonates with you. However, if you want to be more tactical, we have some suggestions to assist you in choosing a word that may lead you to the solution more quickly. One tip is to select a word with at least two different vowels and some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.
What happened to the Wordle archive?
The complete archive of previous Wordle puzzles was initially accessible for everyone to enjoy at their convenience, but it was subsequently removed, with the website’s creator mentioning it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times later introduced its own Wordle Archive, available exclusively to NYT Games subscribers.
Is Wordle becoming more challenging?
