The story of Wordle

The game was created by Josh Wardle, who made it for his wife, Palak Shah. Shah is a puzzle lover, and her love for mind-twisters became the inspiration behind the game.

The couple worked together to come up with the game and created their first prototype in 2013. The game wasn't well received by their friends, who were the first ones to try it. They complained that the game had too many absurd words that they didn't know about. Additionally, they could play the game unlimited times, which made it monotonous after a while.

So, Wardle and Shah decided to drop the project for a while. The game was abandoned for almost 10 years before they picked it back in COVID-19 lockdown.

The couple decided to update the game in order to make it enjoyable for players. Shah filtered the solution list, which at the time had over ten thousand entries. Wardle, meanwhile, added a one-game per day limit to the game.

The modified version of the game became an instant hit with their peers. It started to attract new players each day, leading up to a public release in October 2021.

Soon, Wardle added the "share" feature to Wordle, which became a pivotal point in its journey. The game's popularity went through the roof after the feature was added.

Players loved sharing their results online, filling their social media pages with Wordle scores. The growing popularity attracted The New York Times, which acquired the game in January 2022 for a seven-figure amount.
