Wordle, initially a personal project by engineer Josh Wardle, quickly transformed into a global phenomenon. Its popularity spawned numerous spin-offs, including Squabble (a battle royale version), Heardle (a music identification game), and variations like Dordle and Quordle, which require guessing multiple words simultaneously. The game’s immense success led to its acquisition by the New York Times, even inspiring TikTok livestreams dedicated to Wordle gameplay.
Choosing the right starting word is crucial. While personal preference plays a role, a strategic approach involves selecting a word with at least two different vowels and common consonants like S, T, R, or N. Initially, the entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was publicly accessible, but it was later removed at the request of the New York Times. However, the NYT subsequently launched its own Wordle archive, exclusively available to subscribers of NYT Games.
Despite the perception that Wordle is becoming harder, the difficulty level remains consistent with its initial release. For those seeking a greater challenge, activating Hard Mode adds an extra layer of complexity.
Here are some clues for today’s puzzle:
