Where Did Wordle Come From?
Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a playful gift for his partner, Wordle quickly morphed into a global phenomenon. Thousands of people around the world now play the daily puzzle, and its simple yet addictive format has inspired countless variations. From battle royale games like Squabble to music-based puzzles like Heardle—and even multi-word challenges like Dordle and Quordle—Wordle’s influence is undeniable. Its popularity even led to its acquisition by The New York Times, with TikTok creators frequently livestreaming their attempts.
What’s the Best Wordle Starting Word?
The best Wordle starting word is really the one that clicks with you. However, if you’re looking for a strategic tip, consider choosing a word that features at least two different vowels along with common consonants such as S, T, R, or N. This approach can help you quickly narrow down the possibilities and set you on the right track.
What Happened to the Wordle Archive?
The complete archive of past Wordle puzzles was once available for anyone to revisit at their leisure. However, it was later removed at the request of The New York Times. Now, subscribers to NYT Games have exclusive access to a Wordle Archive, preserving the legacy of past puzzles for dedicated fans.

You might feel like Wordle is getting tougher, but rest assured, it’s just as accessible as when it first debuted. If you’re craving an extra challenge, you can always switch on Hard Mode, which forces you to use any revealed hints in subsequent guesses. But for today’s game, stick with your regular strategy and let the clues guide you.
