Wordle was initially devised by engineer Josh Wardle as a thoughtful surprise for his partner. He had no idea it would soon transform into a worldwide phenomenon, with thousands of players around the globe tackling the daily word challenge. The game’s popularity even led to fans creating their own versions, such as:

– **Squabble**: A competitive Wordle variant.
– **Heardle**: A music identification game.

Eventually, Wordle garnered enough love to be acquired by *The New York Times*. Its influence reached TikTok, where users stream their attempts to solve the puzzle.
