What is the origin of Wordle?

Initially developed by engineer Josh Wardle as a present for his partner, Wordle rapidly transformed into a worldwide sensation, attracting thousands of daily players. Fan-created alternate Wordle versions also sprang up, including the battle royale Squabble, the music recognition game Heardle, and variations such as Dordle and Quordle that challenge you to guess multiple words simultaneously.

Wordle gained such fame that it was acquired by the New York Times, with TikTok creators even livestreaming their gameplay.
