The story behind Wordle
The game was created by Brooklyn-based engineer Josh Wardle for his wife, Palak Shah. She loved solving quizzes, and this passion of hers became the inspiration behind Wordle.
The couple collaborated while creating the game and made a prototype for it in 2013. Wardle shared in interviews that he experimented with numerous word lengths before settling over five letters.
They even asked their friends to review the game for them. Unfortunately, the game failed to impress them.
The reviewers complained that the game was filled with absurd and archaic words. Additionally, they could solve as many grids as they wanted, making the game boring.
The negative reviews made the couple drop the project and forget about it for almost ten years. During this time, Wardle worked at Reddit and created games like "The Button" and "Place" for the platform.
Wordle returned to the couple's life during the COVID-19 lockdown after they spent most of their free time playing similar games.
They decided to update it to make it more enjoyable for players. The modified version of the game was loved by everyone, with players returning to solve the quiz every day. Looking at the support received, Wardle decided to release it to the public in October 2021.
Wordle's popularity shot through the roof after its public release, impressing the New York Times, which acquired the game for a seven-figure amount in January 2022.
Avoid fiding the answer in the spin-off game "Anti-Wordle"
Anti-Wordle is a spin-off of the game that requires players to avoid finding the answer. The goal of the quiz is to waste as many attempts as possible without finding a solution, but it isn't as simple as it seems.
The game uses three colors: gray, yellow, and red.
Gray identifies the letters that do not appear in the word, yellow signifies the letter that appears in the solution but at a different position, while red indicates letters that appear in the exact position in the word.
The crux of the game is that gray letters cannot be used a second time, while yellow letters need to be included in every guess after they are identified. Red should not only be used in every attempt after getting identified, it should also be used in the same position.
A player's score is calculated based on how many attempts they have successfully wasted while solving the game.
