Origin of Wordle
Wordle was initially developed by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner. It quickly gained international fame, attracting thousands of daily players worldwide. Fans have also created alternative versions, such as the battle royale game Squabble, the music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle, which require guessing multiple words simultaneously.
Due to its immense popularity, Wordle was eventually purchased by the New York Times. Additionally, TikTok content creators frequently livestream their Wordle gameplay sessions.
