The history of Wordle

Josh Wardle created the game for his puzzle-loving wife, Palak Shah. Wardle is a Welsh-based software engineer currently residing in America.

He and Shah partnered to create a prototype for the game in 2013, but it didn't get the reception they'd hoped for.

Their peers didn't find the game enjoyable, which led them to abandon the project. Wardle later went on to work with Reddit, where he created viral experiments like Button and Place.

Ten years later, when everyone in the world was bound to their homes, the couple found solace in quizzes like Crossword. It reminded them of their old project, and they had enough free time to work on it. They decided to modify the game to make it enjoyable for players.

The prototype had two significant issues that needed fixing:

1) It had a humongous solution list filled with absurd words that needed to be filtered.

2) There was no limit on how many grids a player could solve in a day, making the game dull. A limit needed to be added to the game to stop users from over-playing.

The newer version of Wordle is excellent to play and is very addictive. It received flying reviews which were also indicated by its growing player base. It was released to the public in October 2021 and was soon acquired by The New York Times in January 2022.

When user velvetesque launched a Harry Styles-themed Heardle, fans demanded a One Direction version of the game.

The rules of this version are identical to Heardle, where players are given a small chunk of a song to listen to. It begins with one second, and with every skipped/failed attempt, an extra second is added to the clip.

The game refreshes with a new One Direction song every day for fans to guess.
