Wordle has an interesting backstory

Josh Wardle created the game for his wife Palak Shah, who loves to solve puzzles and quizzes.

Wardle originally created a prototype for the game in 2013, based on another popular application called Mastermind. Players could play back-to-back games on the older version. Wardle realized, however, that this meant players could get bored easily. Additionally, the answer list was also filled with absurd and archaic words, which added to the difficulty and made the game unenjoyable. He ended up abandoning the game for the time being.

Wardle and Shah returned to the project the during COVID-19 quarantine. They spent a lot of their free time playing quizzes, and ended up reworking the game.

The modified game was a success as it was much more enticing than before. Wardle released the game to the public in October 2021 after witnessing its rising popularity within his known circle. The game became a viral rage soon after, and it continues to attract thousands of players.

There are a plethora of Wordle spin-offs. Framed is one of them, and it is perfect for movie lovers who aren't satisfied with just the word puzzle. The game requires players to recognize movies from screenshots taken at random points. Players have to look at the frames and guess which movie the frame belongs to.

While the concept might be difficult, it is the perfect challenge for cinephiles. Players get six chances to guess the name of the movie. Every time the player makes a wrong guess, the game unlocks a new frame to help them. The game also comes with an auto-fill dropdown list to assist players in writing the correct spelling of their guesses.

Just like every other game inspired by Wordle, Framed refreshes daily and players are given the option to share their results with friends online.
