What is the origin of Wordle?
Initially developed by engineer Josh Wardle as a surprise for his partner, Wordle quickly turned into a global sensation, attracting thousands of players each day. Fan-made alternate versions also appeared, including the battle royale Squabble, the music guessing game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that challenge you to guess multiple words simultaneously.
Wordle grew so popular that it was bought by the New York Times, and TikTok users even livestream themselves playing.
