Wordle #328 answer for Friday, May 13

Wordle is a word-guessing game that reigned over social media towards the end of 2021. Millions of users played the game successfully and shared their results.

The game began as a personal project for software engineer Josh Wardle, whose wife Palak Shah loves to solve word puzzles. He created a prototype for the game in 2013, but it fell through despite his best efforts. The game was simply not enjoyable because the word list contained more than ten thousand words, many of which were vague, foreign or archaic.

Upon deciding to rework the game during the pandemic, the couple made a few modifications and created the version we now know and love. Shah personally filtered the word list down to around 2300 words so it would be more accessible.

Wardle publicly released the game in October 2021 after noticing that his friends and family loved the modified version.

Players can only play one game a day, a feature common to almost all spinoffs. At the end of every game, players can see a fun fact about the day's mystery word and a recipe related to the same.
