But first, let’s rewind for those playing the game for the first time, or returning to it after a long break.
Wordle is the The New York Times“The most popular game, originally created by software engineer Josh Wardle who invented it during lockdown, simply wanting a game “for my partner and I to enjoy”.
But the game has been a huge success, having gathered 2 million players in just four months, and the NOW I bought it in January 2022 for an undisclosed amount.
The goal of the game is to guess the correct five-letter word in six tries. When you type a letter into a block, its color changes.
Green means it’s the correct letter in the correct place, gray means the letter isn’t included in the word at all, and yellow means you have the correct letter, but in the wrong place.
Wardle explained why he chose to use five-letter words for Wordle, unlike other word lengths.

“There’s a reason why every word has five letters and you get six tries to guess it,” he said in an interview with Newsweek in January 2022. “This may seem arbitrary, but with the prototype version I tested different word lengths and experimented with the number of tries players were allowed.
“Through this process of refinement, I realized that five letters and six essays was the sweet spot. It’s just narrow enough to feel like a challenge and make you think, but most of the time people still manage to solve it. So you feel a real sense of accomplishment.”
