The History of Wordle
Wordle was created by Brooklyn-based engineer, Josh Wardle, who created it for his wife, Palak Shah, who is a quiz lover and the inspiration behind the game.
The couple worked together to create a prototype for the game in 2013 and asked their friends to review it for them. Sadly, the game didn't do well and their friends complained that it was filled with absurd words.
They also shared that the game became boring after playing it a few times. Looking at the reviews, the couple decided to drop the game and focus on other things in life. During this time, Wardle started working at Reddit and created two successful experiments for the platform.
Their attention came back to Wordle during the COVID-19 lockdown, after sharing a majority of their free time playing similar quizzes. Playing all those games inspired the couple to update the game and rectify its problems.
The new version of the game managed to become successful among their peers. They loved the game and shared it with more users. Soon, the game made itself a growing community.
Looking at the growth, Wardle decided to release the game to the public in October 2021. The game blew up after its public release, shooting its popularity through the roof. Looking at its success, the New York Times decided to buy it for a seven-figure sum in January 2022.
Heardle and its acquisition by Spotify
Heardle was launched sometime after Wordle became popular on social media. The game requires players to recognize a song by listening to a small snippet from it.
Players get five chances to guess the correct answer. Heardle's website describes itself as a “respectful homage to Wordle, with a musical twist.”
The game became so successful that Spotify acquired it in July 2022.
In a statement, Jeremy Erlich, Spotify’s Global Head of Music, praised the game by saying:
"Heardle has proven to be a really fun way to connect millions of fans with songs they know and love and with new songs… and a way to compete with their friends as to who has the best musical knowledge."
The application now uses Spotify as its music library and players can listen to featured songs through the music streaming portal after finishing the game. Spotify is also rumored to be localizing the game, adding regional music to a different version of it.
