Wordle is a word game that went viral and took social media by storm in late 2021. The brainchild of an American software engineer, Josh Wardle, the game's aim was to provide entertainment to his wife, Palak Shah, and him during the pandemic. Shah helped Wardle in shortlisting the words for the final version of the game.
The game was supposed to be a personal project for the engineer and was never intended to go public. However, with time, more and more players started joining it. This inspired Wardle to launch the game to the public.
Wordle became a massive success within six months of its launch. By February, almost 2 million players had already played the game. After witnessing the popularity of the game, The New York Times Company bought the game for a low seven-figure sum.
Wordle moved to the NYT website out of Wardle's control, but he made sure that it would remain ad-free and accessible to all players before the deal went through.
Currently, the game has a daily player count of around 20k. Many even look for hints online to help them solve the puzzle. This is why we make sure to post clues for the answer every day.

"Green means the letter is placed at the correct spot in the word."
"Yellow means the letter is in the word but has been placed incorrectly."
"Gray means the letter does not appear in the word."
Then players are given an empty table of 5X6 to fill with words. Once a word is entered, the tiles under each of the letters change in color, to either green, yellow or gray. Players have to follow the clues provided by the game to find the answer.
