Wordle was created by American software engineer, Josh Wardle. While he had created the prototype for the game earlier, it was only during the pandemic that he perfected it to the version we know and love today with the help of his partner, Palak Shah. Since both of them love word games, crosswords and puzzles, they created Wordle as their personal game to play.
The game initially had a massive word list of 13,000 possible answers, which was narrowed down to 2000 by Shah. The game is now close to exhausting 300 words from the filtered list.
The list has a mix of easy and tough words that keeps the game interesting and addictive. However, the difficult words can sometimes be a mood-spoiler, which is why we are here to offer hints for the answer.

It went viral on social media and by January 2022, the game had shown up everywhere on the internet. The game's popularity attracted The New York Times Company and they bought it from Wardle on the condition that it would remain free.
