Josh Wardle created the prototype for the game back in 2013

The game was created by Welsh software engineer Josh Wardle, who used his Palak Shah's love for puzzles as his inspiration. He first created a prototype for the game in 2013, but it did not work out the way he had hoped. This led the engineer to abandon it and focus on other projects. While working at Reddit, Wardle worked on a few viral social experiments like Button and Place.

Wardle was reminded of the game, when it was almost a decade old, during the COVID-19 quarantine. Shah and he spent much of their free time playing games, puzzles and riddles, so he decided to give Wordle another shot. He kept in mind the issues that had bothered him previously, namely the humongous solution library filled with absurd words and the absence of a limit on the number of times the game could be played in a day.

To make the game more enjoyable, the couple made the necessary modifications that immediately gave the game a glow-up. The newer version was not only great to play but also very addictive. They shared it with their own friends, peers and family, which helped them understand its potential.

Once Wardle released the game publicly in October 2021, it went viral within a few weeks. Players started returning to the site every day to guess the daily word. At one point, the game boasted millions of users every day. The soaring popularity eventually caught the eyes of The New York Times who acquired it for a seven-digit amount in January 2022.
