Wordle
Wordle is a web-based word game created by Welsh software engineer Josh Wardle. In the game, players have six attempts to guess a five-letter word, with feedback given for each guess in the form of colored tiles indicating when letters match or are in the correct position. The game was inspired by the color-matching game Mastermind and was initially created in 2013. It gained popularity after being shared with friends and relatives, leading to a viral spread of attention to the puzzle by mid-October 2021.
Wordle officially launched in October 2021 and is played via the NYT Games website, remaining entirely free. The game has gained a dedicated following and has managed to keep players hooked on their phone screens since its launch.
