What is the origin of Wordle?

Initially developed by engineer Josh Wardle as a present for his partner, Wordle quickly became a worldwide sensation, attracting thousands of players daily. Fan-created alternate versions of Wordle also emerged, such as the battle royale variant Squabble, the music recognition game Heardle, and adaptations like Dordle and Quordle that require guessing multiple words simultaneously.

Wordle eventually gained such immense popularity that it was acquired by the New York Times, and TikTok users even broadcast themselves playing the game.

What is the optimal starting word for Wordle?

The ideal starting word for Wordle is one that resonates with you. However, if you wish to take a strategic approach, we have some suggestions to help you choose a word that could lead you to the solution more quickly. One recommendation is to select a word containing at least two distinct vowels, along with some frequent consonants such as S, T, R, or N.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

The complete archive of past Wordle puzzles was initially open for anyone to enjoy at their leisure, but it was subsequently removed, with the website’s creator stating it was taken down at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then launched its own Wordle Archive, which is accessible only to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle becoming more challenging?

It may seem like Wordle is becoming more difficult, but it is not any tougher than it was at its inception. You can enable Wordle’s Hard Mode if you’re seeking a greater challenge, though.
