The story behind Wordle's success

The game was formed almost 10 years ago, in 2003, when Wardle was inspired by his wife's love for quiz games and decided to create a game for her. However, the project didn't see the light of day for long, and was set aside owing to bad reviews.

The game had two major issues, the first being that the solution list was massive, with around ten thousand words, many of which were absurd and outdated. The second problem was that players could play the game an unlimited number of times, which slowly led to monotony.

Wordle gathered dust while Wardle went on to work at Reddit and created two successful experiments called Button and Place.

The game came back to the couple's attention during the COVID-19 quarantine, when they started spending most of their free hours solving crosswords.

The pair decided to modify the game anew and make the necessary changes to make it enjoyable for players. The updated version received raving reviews, further ushering in new players. Looking at the growing player base, Wardle decided to release Wordle publicly in October, 2021.

The game's popularity skyrocketed after its public release, attracting millions of daily players. It also piqued the interest of the New York Times. The media giant later bought the game for a seven-figure sum in January, 2022.

Gamers have formulated a hack in order to find every letter in the day's word.

The idea behind the trick is simple: Use five words that do not repeat a single alphabet, to reveal all the important letters of the Wordle solution. They place the words one after another, noting all the letters that turn green or yellow. Here are the five words:

  • FJORD
  • WALTZ
  • QUICK
  • GYBES
  • NYMPH

The above set was taken from YouTuber, Disguised Toast, and contains all alphabets, other than X.

Players need to then rearrange and figure out the answer, and even though the technique is not always successful, it can definitely give the solver a heads up while guessing the answer.
