What is the origin of Wordle?

Initially developed by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle quickly gained immense popularity, becoming a global sensation with countless players engaging daily. Fan-created alternate versions emerged, including the battle royale Squabble, the music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that challenge you to guess multiple words simultaneously.

Wordle’s popularity soared to such heights that it was acquired by the New York Times, and TikTok creators have even begun live-streaming their gameplay.
