Wordle is a web-based word game created by American software engineer and developer, Josh Wardle. The game was made public by Wardle during the pandemic in 2021. Not long after its public release, the game went viral and became immensely popular on social media.
The success of the game attracted The New York Times who boast of a thriving collection of word games. They acquired the game from Wardle in 2022. While the NYT wanted to place the game behind a paywall, the creator was against the idea. Wardle came to an agreement with them to keep the game free.
By the end of January, the game had migrated to the New York Times' website with all its features intact.
Currently, thousands of players hop on to the news website to play the game every day. Many even look for hints online to help find the solution. This is why we post hints for the solution daily.

r/Place is another successful creation by Wardle
Wardle had also created Place and The Button when working at Reddit.
r/Place went viral a few days ago. He first created the experiment five years ago in 2017, when it became a huge success. The current rendition was 5 times bigger than last time and ran from April 1 to April 5.
The goal behind the project is to bring different groups and subcultures together for massive fun artwork. Each participant is allowed to draw one single-pixel dot every five minutes, and has to work with numerous other creators to make a recognizable artwork.
Six million users from around the world took part in the challenge, placing 72 million dots in a total of five days.
