What is the origin of Wordle?

Originally developed by engineer Josh Wardle as a surprise for his partner, Wordle swiftly turned into a global phenomenon, attracting thousands of players each day. Alternate versions created by fans also appeared, including the battle royale Squabble, the music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that challenge you to guess multiple words at the same time.

Wordle gained such immense popularity that it was acquired by the New York Times, with TikTok creators even streaming live sessions of play.
