The first Wordle solution was "cigar"

Wordle was released to the public in October 2021, but the first word that appeared in the game was "cigar" for June 19, 2021. Wardle initially made the game for his partner, Palak Shah, who is an avid crossword player. Slowly, more people started playing the game, which prompted Wardle to make the game public.

The game blew up during January 2022, when Twitter users started sharing their scores with friends online. The popularity of the game earned it enough fame that the New York Times acquired it for a seven-figure sum at the end of January, and the game moved to their website in February 2022.

The game recorded 3 million players around January, and NYT reported that around 20k people return to the website daily to solve the puzzle.
