The history of Wordle
The game was created by Brooklyn-based engineer Josh Wardle for his wife, Palak Shah. Shah is a puzzle fan and her love for them became the inspiration behind the game.
The couple worked together to come up with a prototype for the game in 2013 and asked their friends to review it. However, it failed to impress them, with reviewers complaining that the game was filled with absurd words and turned boring after some time.
Looking at the reviews, the couple decided to drop the game for almost ten years. During this time, Wardle went to work at Reddit and created two successful experiments for the platform.
The couple got back to their abandoned project during the COVID-19 lockdown, after spending the majority of their free time playing various puzzles and quizzes.
They became interested in modifying the game. To do that, Shah filtered the game's solution list, while Wardle added a one-game-per-day feature.
The updated version became a great success and started to attract new players every day. Looking at the growing number of Wordle players, Wardle decided to release the game to the public in October 2021.
The game's popularity multiplied after its public release, resulting in it getting acquired by the New York Times in January 2022.
Tips to remember while solving Wordle
There isn't a fixed method for solving this game. It comes with fairly simple rules where players have to enter five-letter words and follow clues provided after each entry.
However, players can follow a few tips to make sure they stay on the right track. Here are some basic things to keep in mind:
1) Begin the game with a word in common letters. Words like "think," "crane," and "watch" are better entries than words that contain letters like z,x and q.
2) Use words like "adieu" to filter the vowels present in the solution.
3) Don't skip over double letters. The game doesn't provide any indication of double letters, so players have to pay special attention towards that.
4) Do not ignore the simple words. The game has been filtered to include numerous easy and simple words.
5) Practice. There are numerous copies of the game online. Players can use them to hone their skills and get better in the original game.
Following these tips can help people get better at Wordle and maintain their winning streak.
