Internet users have never fawned over a word quiz as much as they did on Wordle. The game started getting popular towards the end of December 2021, and by February 2022, it had shown up on almost every social media user's timeline.
The game had a loyal fan base from the day it was launched in October 2021 but only became popular after the "share" feature was added to it. Players were trying to find a way to share their gameplay with their friends online without spoiling it for others.
During that time, Twitter user Elizabeth (@irihapet) came up with a brilliant idea to create gameplay with the help of color box emojis. Mimicking the Wordle's theme, she used green, yellow and gray tiles to share how many attempts she made in search of a solution. Yes, she did it manually.
The idea struck a chord with the game's creator, Josh Wardle, who later added the feature to the game. This feature makes it easier for players to share their gameplay, intriguing friends and family.
At this point, around 30k people play Wordle daily, and new players keep joining in every day. We will make sure to post hints and clues for players who are new or not affluent in the game and need extra assistance.
