Wordle, a beloved word puzzle game, traces its origins to the creative mind of software engineer Josh Wordle
In October 2008, Wordle developed the precursor to Wordle, a game called Nerdle, which he created
as a personal project to improve his programming skills. Nerdle, however, didn't gain much attention
at the time. Years later, in October 2021, Wordle launched Wordle, a simplified version of Nerdle
on his website. Wordle quickly garnered widespread popularity due to its addictive gameplay and
straightforward mechanics. Players were drawn to its daily challenge format, where they have six
attempts to guess a five-letter word, receiving feedback on each guess. The game's popularity
skyrocketed after it was featured in the New York Times, reaching a broader audience and becoming a
cultural phenomenon. Wordle's accessibility, combined with its challenging yet rewarding gameplay, has cemented its place as a staple in the world of online word games, captivating
players of all ages and backgrounds around the globe
