Wordle was created by an American software engineer named Josh Wardle. He created the game keeping his wife, Palak Shah, in mind. She is an avid quiz player and loves to play the Crossword and Spelling Bee.
During the pandemic, the couple spent a lot of time together playing games. Wardle had previously abandoned his Wordle prototype in 2013, but he approached it with a renewed vision during quarantine. Palak took the responsibility of shortening the word list and making it more comprehensible. Wardle, on the other hand, made it so the game could only be played once a day.
The refurbished version of the game became successful on social media soon after its public release. After the game went viral, The New York Times expressed interest in purchasing it. The acquisition was completed in late January. Wordle attracts over 20k people to their site every day, even now.

Want to play more? Try Poeltl!
Poeltl is another spin-off of Wardle's game. The name was chosen to honor San Antonio Spurs star, Jakob Poeltl. Creator Gabe Danon did not expect much from the game, and was pleasantly surprised when the game's website received 240k visitors in the last week of February.
It is very similar to Weddle, an NFL version of the word game. Players get eight attempts to guess the player of the day. The first guess has to be a blind guess, but after that the game provides clues.
It displays the player's team, conference, division, position, height, age, and jersey number over green or yellow tiles. Green indicates that a particular feature matches the answer, while yellow means that the user is close to the right answer.
The game comes with an additional feature where users can see a silhouette of the mystery player's headshot.
