What is Wordle?

For newbies or those returning to the game, Wordle is a popular puzzle game created by Josh Wardle. Originally intended as a private game for Wardle and his partner during lockdown, it became a huge hit and was picked up by The New York Times in January 2022. The goal is to guess a five-letter word within six tries, with feedback provided by color-coded tiles: green for correct letters in the right place, yellow for correct letters in the wrong place, and gray for incorrect letters.

Wardle’s decision to use five-letter words and six guesses strikes the perfect balance between challenge and accessibility. According to Wardle, this configuration makes the game exciting yet solvable, providing a satisfying sense of achievement.
