All about Wordle
Created by Brooklyn-based software engineer Josh Wardle, Wordle was initially a personal project to entertain his girlfriend during the pandemic.
The game’s simplicity and charm led to a public launch in October 2021, where it grew from just 91 players in November to over two million by January 2022.
Recognizing its massive potential, The New York Times acquired Wordle in early 2022, cementing its status as one of the most beloved word games globally.
Its addictive nature lies in the perfect balance: five-letter words and six attempts—enough to challenge but still achievable.
Josh Wardle explained the appeal in an interview with Newsweek: “It’s just limited enough to feel challenging but manageable, giving players a sense of accomplishment.”
