Wordle

History

The game was originally developed by Welsh Software Engineer Josh Wardle for play with his friend Palak Shah to play during their freetime. After its acquisition by the New York Times for sums of around a million USD, the game exploded in popularity in 2022, and became the new trend of the year.

Gameplay

Wordle starts out with a pre-generated five-letter word that the player tries to guess using the 26-letter English alphabet. The player is given six tries to guess the word. With each guess, the user is told whether or not each letter is in the word as well as if the letter is placed in the correct location. You can only play once per day.
