The history of Wordle

The game was made by Brooklyn engineer Josh Wardle. His wife, Palak Shah, loves to play quizzes, which inspired the engineer to come up with a quiz of their own.

The two worked together to create the game in 2013 and asked their friends for feedback. The game didn't do well, and players complained that the puzzle was filled with absurd and archaic words that they hadn't heard about. Additionally, players could play the game as many times as they wanted, which often led to boredom.

The pair ended up dropping the project and Wardle went to work for Reddit, where he created two successful experiments called Button and Place.

They picked it up again during the COVID-19 lockdown when they started spending a majority of their free time playing similar games.

Shah filtered out most of the difficult words, while Wardle added a one-game per day limit.

The updated version was a success and players loved it, as a result of which the game's player base started to increase, prompting a public release. Wardle ended up making the game public in October 2021.

Wordle blew up on the internet after that. Its popularity attracted the attention of The New York Times. The news portal bought the game in January 2022, where it is now available to players and users.


BTS version of the Heardle

Heardle, which itself is a spin-off of Wordle, now has a spin-off of its own!

Given that BTS is the most popular K-Pop band in the world, it does not come as a surprise that the band has a Heardle game dedicated to it.

Created by BTSCHARTDATA, the game was launched a few days after the BTS version of Wordle became popular.

It is pretty similar to the original Heardle game, where players have to recognize a song by listening to small snippets from it. The game begins with a 1 second long snippet, which gradually increases with every failed or skipped attempt.

Players have a total of 6 chances to guess the correct answer. The only difference between the original game and this is that this spin-off only features songs by the K-Pop boyband.
