What is the origin of Wordle?

Initially developed by engineer Josh Wardle as a surprise gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly became a worldwide phenomenon, with thousands participating daily. Enthusiasts also came up with different versions of Wordle, such as the battle royale Squabble, the music quiz Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that involve guessing multiple words simultaneously.

Wordle gained so much popularity that it was acquired by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even broadcast themselves playing it live.
