The history of Wordle
Josh Wardle and his wife Palak Shah worked together to create a prototype for the game in 2013. They even asked their friends to review it for them, but sadly did not receive the feedback they had hoped for.
Players complained that the game was filled with absurd words for solutions. Additionally, they could play numerous grids in a day, which made the game boring after a while.
Looking at the feedback, the couple decided to shelf the project and focus on other ventures. Wardle went to work at Reddit, where he created Button and Place for the platform.
The game remained in the backseat for almost 10 years before making a comeback into the couple's life during the COVID-19 lockdown, when they started spending a majority of their free time playing quizzes. This reminded them of their old project, and they decided to upgrade it.
After the rework, the game became incredibly addictive and fun. New people kept joining the player base, encouraging Wardle to release the game publicly. Once released, it became so popular that the New York Times decided to buy it for a seven-figure sum in January 2022.
NYT launched WordleBot after acquiring the game
Following the acquisition, The New York Times released a website called WordleBot, which is made to help players understand the game better.
Players can screenshot the games they have played and submit them on the website. The website's AI analyzes the game and scores each individual step. Based on that, players are given helpful tips by the website and provided with better words to enter into the game.
WordleBot also informs people about the best starting words for a game.
Players who like to compete with their friends can even use it as a tie breaker to find the winner.
