Wordle, originally designed by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, quickly became a global sensation, with thousands playing daily. Fans created spin-offs like Squabble (a battle royale version), Heardle (music guessing), and other variations like Dordle and Quordle that challenge you to solve multiple words at once. Due to its popularity, the New York Times eventually acquired Wordle, with some TikTok creators even live-streaming their games.
Choosing the best starting word for Wordle? Go with what feels right, or use a strategy: pick a word with at least two vowels and common consonants like S, T, R, or N to narrow down the solution faster.
Previously, Wordle’s entire puzzle archive was available to play on-demand. However, the New York Times later took it down, offering its own version to NYT Games subscribers. While Wordle’s difficulty hasn’t changed, turning on Hard Mode can offer an extra challenge if you’re looking for it.
