A Brief Wordle Background
Wordle was initially developed by software engineer Josh Wardle as a present for his partner. It rapidly gained momentum, becoming a worldwide phenomenon with daily players all over the globe. Since then, fans have introduced numerous variations, including:
– Squabble: a battle royale edition
– Heardle: a musical spin
– Dordle and Quordle: where you guess multiple words simultaneously
Ultimately, The New York Times purchased Wordle, and it even secured a spot on TikTok, where players broadcast their attempts live.
Selecting the Optimal Starting Word
There isn’t a definitive “best” starting word—it’s all about what suits you. However, if you want to be methodical, consider a word with at least two different vowels and prevalent consonants like S, T, R, or N. Need some ideas? We’ve compiled a list of excellent starting words for you to try.
What Happened to the Wordle Archive?
Initially, players could tap into an unofficial archive of previous Wordle puzzles. However, that archive was removed at the request of The New York Times. Now, NYT Games subscribers can access an official Wordle archive through the Times.
Is Wordle Becoming More Challenging?
It may appear that Wordle is becoming harder, but the level of difficulty has remained consistent since its inception. If you’re seeking more of a challenge, you can always turn on Hard Mode in the game settings.
