The Origin of Wordle

Wordle is a popular word game that has taken the internet by storm. Created by Josh Wardle, a software engineer, as a gift for his partner Palak Shah, who loves word games. Initially played only by the couple, the game gained popularity when they introduced it to their relatives and shared their progress in a group chat. On November 1st, 2021, Wardle released the game to the public, and within two months, it attracted over 300,000 players.
