Where did Wordle originate?

Developed by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle swiftly became a worldwide phenomenon, with thousands participating daily. Enthusiasts have created alternative versions, such as Squabble, Heardle, Dordle, and Quordle, which challenge players to guess multiple words simultaneously.

Wordle’s success resulted in its acquisition by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even stream their gameplay live.

What’s the ideal starting word for Wordle?

The optimal starting word is one that resonates personally. For a more strategic approach, think about words that include at least two distinct vowels and typical consonants like S, T, R, or N.

What occurred with the Wordle archive?

The Wordle archive was initially open to everyone but was subsequently removed at the request of the New York Times. Since then, the New York Times has rolled out its own Wordle Archive for NYT Games subscribers.
