A brief history of Wordle

Brooklyn-based software engineer Josh Wardle created the game for his wife, Palak Shah. Shah is a quiz lover, and her love for quizzes became the inspiration behind the game.

The couple collaborated to create the prototype in 2013 and asked their friends to review it for them. Sadly, the game wasn't well received by the reviewers, who complained that the puzzle was filled with absurd words for solutions. Additionally, they could play numerous grids in a day, which made things boring after a while.

The negative reviews made the couple drop the game and forget about it. In the meantime, Wardle started working at Reddit and created Button and Place for the platform.

They only returned to the game during the COVID-19 lockdown and solved various quizzes. The game inspired them to upgrade their old project and make it enjoyable for players. To bring these changes, Shah filtered the game's solution list, and Wardle added a one-game per day filter to the application.
