Wordle was was created by an American software engineer, Josh Wardle. He initially made the game for himself and his partner Palak Shah, but decided to publicize it in October 2018.

The game follows American English due to its origin. This is a piece of vital information for players as words like color, favor, and rumor can be part of the game.

This was noticed by many UK-based players when one day the word to guess was FAVOR. The game is free-to-play and available here.

If you have never played the game before, these are the rules:

The player is given six attempts to find a five-letter word, the first word is chosen randomly by the player. After clicking on "ENTER," the tiles under the letter change to one of three colors from green, yellow, or gray.

Green means the letter is present in the word and is placed in the right position.
Yellow means the letter is present in the word but placed in an incorrect position.
Gray means the letter is absent in the word.

If a player is unable to find the answer, they have to try the next day with a new word.
