Where did Wordle come from?
According to Mashable, originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once.
Mashable reports that Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.
