What is the origin of Wordle?

Initially developed by engineer Josh Wardle as a special gift for his partner, Wordle quickly became a worldwide sensation, attracting thousands of players globally every day. Fan-made variations of Wordle also emerged, including the competitive Squabble, music guessing game Heardle, and adaptations like Dordle and Quordle that require guessing multiple words simultaneously.

Wordle gained such immense popularity that the New York Times acquired it, and TikTok users even stream their gameplay live.

What’s the optimal starting word for Wordle?

The ideal starting word for Wordle is simply one that resonates with you. However, if you want to take a more tactical route, we can offer some suggestions to help you choose a word that could lead you to the answer more quickly. One suggestion is to pick a word that contains at least two different vowels alongside some common consonants such as S, T, R, or N.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

The full archive of previously released Wordle puzzles was initially accessible for anyone who wished to engage with it anytime, but it was eventually removed, with the site’s creator stating it was at the behest of the New York Times. Subsequently, the New York Times introduced its own Wordle Archive, available exclusively to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle becoming more difficult?

It may seem like Wordle is becoming harder, but the level of difficulty remains the same as when it first launched. You can activate Wordle’s Hard Mode if you’re looking for a more intense challenge.
