The journey of Wordle
Wordle was created by Brooklyn-based engineer Josh Wardle for his wife, Palak Shah, who is a quiz lover. Shah's love for quizzes became the inspiration behind the game.
The pair worked together to create a prototype for the game, which they asked their friends to review. Unfortunately, their peers did not like the game and complained that it was filled with absurd words. Additionally, players could solve back-to-back games, which made the game monotonous after a while.
This caused the duo to lose interest in continuing the project, and they dropped it. Meanwhile, Wardle went on to work at Reddit and created two successful projects called Button and Place.
They were finally reminded of the game during the COVID-19 lockdown when they spent the majority of their free time solving various games. This inspired them to update the game.
For that, Shah filtered out words from the game's solution list, while Wardle added a one-fame per day feature to the programming. The modified version of the game started to gain popularity and earned itself a small but loyal user base.
A growing number of regular players encouraged Wardle to release the game in the public domain. However, Wordle only went viral after the share feature was added to it.
One of the players came up with the idea of creating the results manually from the emoji boxes. Her idea was appreciated by Wardle, who integrated it into the game.
Soon after that, the game started to trend and took over social media platforms. Its popularity got the attention of the New York Times, which acquired it in January 2022.
The acquisition received criticism from fans who believed that the media house would make the game a paid one. However, this was already taken care of by Wardle. More so, the newshouse released an AI website called WordleBot to help players analyze their gameplay and get better at it.
The NYT has now partnered with Hasbro to create a board game version of Wordle. The board will launch sometime next month, but fans can pre-order on Amazon, Target, and Hasbro’s online store for $19.99.
