Wordle made its internet debut in October 2021 and has managed to sustain its popularity, attracting over 2 million players in just four months. In January 2022, The New York Times purchased the game from its creator, Josh Wardle, for a seven-figure sum.
While many internet sensations come and go, why did Wordle manage to captivate puzzle enthusiasts for so long? According to Wardle, it’s the game’s straightforward concept that keeps players entertained.
Interestingly, Wordle was not specifically designed by Wardle; it was a gift for his partner, who adores crosswords, created during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Wardle aimed to challenge players without overwhelming them, settling on five-letter words with six attempts as the perfect balance, providing a sense of accomplishment when solved.
There are currently 2,315 possible words in Wordle, with offensive or outdated terms removed after the game’s acquisition by The New York Times.
