Wordle, initially a personal project by engineer Josh Wardle, quickly became a global phenomenon. Its popularity spawned various spin-offs, including Squabble, Heardle, Dordle, and Quordle, each offering a unique twist on the original guessing game. The game’s immense success led to its acquisition by the *New York Times*, further cementing its place in popular culture, with even TikTok creators livestreaming their attempts.
Choosing the best starting word is subjective. However, a strategic approach involves selecting a word with at least two different vowels and common consonants like S, T, R, or N. This can significantly speed up the process of elimination.
While the original Wordle archive was initially accessible, it was later removed at the request of the *New York Times*. The *New York Times* subsequently launched its own archive, exclusively available to its Games subscribers. Contrary to popular belief, the game’s difficulty hasn’t increased since its inception. However, for those seeking a greater challenge, Wordle’s Hard Mode can be enabled.
