The history of Wordle
The game was designed by a Brooklyn-based software engineer, Josh Wardle. Wardle's wife, Palak Shah, is a quiz enthusiast, and her love for word-games and puzzles became the inspiration behind the creation of Wordle.
The couple worked together to create a prototype for the game in 2013 and asked their friends to review it for them. However, their friends didn't like the game and complained that it had absurd words for solutions. Additionally, they could play numerous grids in a day, which made the game boring after a while.
Owing to the negative feedback, the couple decided to drop it and forgot about it for close to ten years. During this time, Wardle went on to work at Reddit and created Button and Place for the platform.
The game made a re-entry into their lives during the COVID-19 lockdown, after the couple spent the majority of their free time playing quizzes and puzzles. They decided to rework their abandoned project to make it more enjoyable for the players. To do so, Shah filtered the solution list, while Wordle added a one-quiz-per-day filter to the game.
The updated version of the game received positive reactions, which encouraged Wardle to release it to the public in October 2021. The game blew up after its public release and attracted the media mogul New York Times, ultimately getting acquired by it in January 2022.
BTS version of Heardle
Wordle has a successful spin-off called Heardle, which has numerous versions of itself. One of those iterations is the BTS version of Heardle.
The basic rules of the game are identical to the original audio game, where players are given small snippets of a song, which they have to recognize. The snippets increase in length with every wrong or skipped attempt. The game offers a total of six attempts.
The BTS version has one extra condition, which is very self-explanatory. The songs featured in the game belong to the K-pop boyband, BTS. The game was created by BTSCHARTDATA for the BTS fanbase called A.R.M.Y.
