What is the Wordle #302 answer for Sunday, April 17? Hints and solution revealed

Wordle is an online word-guessing game that gained prominence towards the end of 2021.

Josh Wardle created the game for his wife, Palak Shah. He started working on it almost 10 years ago and created a prototype in 2013. The game had close to 10,000 words at the time, making the answers vague and uninteresting. As a result, Wardle ended up abandoning the project.

In the meantime, the Welsh software engineer created successful collaborative games like Place and The Button while working for Reddit.

Wardle and his wife were reminded of their Wordle project when they spent time together playing crossword games. They decided to rework the game and make it more enjoyable. Despite it being a personal project, the couple decided to make the game public after it became immensely popular among friends and family.

Wordle became accessible to the public in October 2021 and transformed into a viral trend in just four months.

Internet users love showing off their scores on social media. We make sure to post hints for the game every day so that our readers never lose their winning streak.
