What is the story behind Wordle?

Josh Wardle created the game for his wife, Palak Shah. Shah loves to play quizzes, and this inspired the game. They worked together to create a prototype for the game in 2013 and later asked their friends to review it.

Unfortunately, the game didn't go well, and reviewers complained that the game was filled with random and absurd entries. Additionally, they could solve as many grids as they wanted, which made it boring.

The couple dropped the game and forgot about it for nearly 10 years because of these bad reviews. Meanwhile, Wardle started working at Reddit and conceptualized Button and Place for the platform.

They returned to the game during the COVID-19 lockdown. The games reminded them of their old project, and they decided to renew it. To do that, Shah took it upon herself to remove the archaic words from the list, and Wardle added a one-game per day limit.

Their friends and other players loved the new version of the game. Looking at the game's growth, Wardle decided to release it to the public in October 2021.

Wordle was later acquired by the media mogul New York Times, who bought it for a seven-figure price in January 2022.

Moviedle is a game where players must recognize a movie by looking at its super sped-up version. According to the game's creator, Jeremy Toeman of AugX Labs, the game intends to be a fun version of the puzzle players can enjoy solving. He said:

"Moviedle doesn’t have to be the hardest game. It just has to be fun.”

The puzzle is pretty simple: the game will play a sped-up 1-second video, and players will have to recognize the movie featured in the clip.

The clip will slow down little by little with every wrong or skipped attempt. Players get a total of six attempts; if they fail, they can try the game the next day.
