Reportedly, millions of people play it every year. When it first launched circa 90 people played it.

The game is color-coded. A letter that is in the right position will turn green, while a letter that is part of the word but in the wrong position will turn yellow.

If you’ve guessed a letter that isn’t part of the word at all, it’ll turn gray.

The Origins of ‘Wordle’

The puzzle was originally developed by software engineer Josh Wardle, who initially intended it to be played by him and his partner Palak Shah.

Wardle first began working on it in 2013 and returned to the project during the COVID-19 pandemic, where he perfected it and launched it to the public.

It was officially launched to the public in October 2021. In January 2022, Wordle was bought by The New York Times Company for an undisclosed seven-figure sum.
