Wordle has taken the world by storm after first becoming popular during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Players follow a color system to work out a five-letter word and have six attempts to get the answer.
After submitting a guess, green tiles show a player has chosen the correct letter and that it is in the right place. A yellow tile means the letter is right but in the wrong place while a gray tile indicates that the letter is not in the word.
People use different methods to try to solve the puzzle. Some may just go for the first five-letter word they can think of, while others may have a more advanced strategy, thinking of specific words with lots of vowels in such as "Audio" or "Adieu."
The popular game was first released to the public in October 2021. Brooklyn-based software engineer Josh Wardle created the game for his partner, who enjoyed puzzles, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Wardle, who originally hails from Wales in the U.K., created the game for the two of them to play. After he showed it to family members, it quickly became popular, so he introduced it to his wider social group.
On November 1, 2020, around 90 people were playing Wordle. Only two months later, more than 300,000 people were playing, according to the New York Times. More than 2 million people now play Wordle.
The New York Times bought the rights to the game from Wardle in January 2022 for an undisclosed fee "in the low seven figures," the newspaper reported.
