History of Wordle

The game was created by Josh Wardle, a Welsh software engineer who currently resides in America. He developed the game inspired by his wife, Palak Shah, who loves to solve games like Crossword.

He created the first prototype for the game in 2013 but had to abandon it because it wasn't good enough. It had two major problems:

1. A humongous solution list filled with absurd and archaic words.
2. There was no limit on how many grids a player could solve in a day.

Wardle decided to add changes and make the game engaging for the players. Shah helped filter the solution list, while Wardle added a one-game per day limit to the application.

The modified game started to gain popularity among their circle. Looking at the growing player base, the engineer decided to release the game publicly in October 2021.

Wordle went viral only a few weeks after its release. Its fame reached a point where The New York Times became interested in buying it. The news website wanted to make the game a paid feature, but that didn't sit right with Wardle. He wanted to keep it free and only agreed after the conditions were met.

The game was sold to the portal in January 2022, where it became a part of its "Gameplay" section.

Try Quordle for a challenge

Quordle is a spinoff of Wordle, that requires players to solve 4 quiz grids within nine attempts. Anyone who feels the original game is too easy can try their hands at Quordle.

The game was created by Freddie Meyer, David Mah and Guilherme S Tows. Meyer shared his experience with creating the game by saying:

“It was truly horrific code (it even had two keyboards) but I knew that I had to continue this madness. With hindsight, he really baited me into finishing his monstrous creation.”

He shared that Quordle is a combination of "evil and genius.”

The basic rules for Quordle are identical to the original. Words simultaneously fill in all four grids until they get solved. Once solved, the individual grid will stop accepting any new guesses.

Users also have a "practice" mode option that they can use to play back-to-back games.
