Created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner (romance!) and later bought by the New York Times in a seven-figure deal, Wordle has become a daily habit for thousands of people, and inspired countless clones and variations on the basic guessing-game format. Try the diabolically hard Absurdle, the maddeningly fun music game Heardle, the multi-game variants that add up to the 31-word Grand Slam (aka Untrigintordle) — or you might want to go deeper with Wordle clones for specific fandoms.
