The backstory of Wordle
Brooklyn-based engineer Josh Wardle created Wordle as a personal project. Josh's wife, Palak Shah, is a quiz lover, and her affinity for such games became the inspiration behind creating Wordle.
The couple created a prototype version of the game, but it failed to impress their friends with it. People who tried the puzzle complained that it was filled with absurd words. Additionally, players could solve back-to-back games, which made the game monotonous after a while.
Looking at these reviews, the duo decided to abandon the project for almost ten years. During this time, Wardle created two successful experiments, Button and Place for Reddit.
During the COVID-19 lockdown, the couple spent most of their free time playing quizzes and crosswords. This motivated them to give their abandoned project one more chance. The updated version of the game turned out to be a success. It attracted enough attention for Wardle to release it in the public domain. Since then, Worldle's popularity has skyrocketed. The New York Times later acquired it in January 2022 for a seven-figure sum.
