Where did Wordle come from?
While engineer Josh Wardle originally created Wordle for his partner, the word guessing game has since become a daily habit for thousands of players across the globe. In fact, Wordle became so popular that it was eventually purchased by the New York Times.
Wordle has also inspired numerous fanmade clones and alternate iterations, such as battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that have you trying to guess multiple words at once. It has also provided ample content for TikTok creators, because sometimes it’s nice to just watch someone solve a problem rather than do it yourself.
What’s the best Wordle starting word?
The best Wordle starting word is whichever one makes you happy. However, if what makes you happy is strategy, we have a few ideas to help you find what works for you. Generally, it’s a good idea to fit at least two vowels into your first word, as well as more common consonants such as S, T, R, or N.
What happened to the Wordle archive?

Is Wordle getting harder?
No, Wordle isn’t getting harder, even though you may feel like it is! Though conversely, if you feel as though you haven’t been getting enough of a challenge, you can switch on Hard Mode.
Why are there two different Wordle answers some days?
While conventional wisdom states there should only be one Wordle solution on any given day, there are rare days where two different answers will be deemed acceptable. This is due to the New York Times having made changes to Wordle after acquiring it.
The Times has since added its own updated word list, so this should happen even less frequently than before. To avoid any confusion, it’s a good idea to refresh your browser before getting stuck into a new puzzle.
