Wordle, which gives users six chances to guess a new five-letter word every day, was originally created by Welsh engineer Josh Wardle. He initially made it for his family’s enjoyment but eventually released it to the public in October 2021 — and the rest is history. Wordle took the internet by storm, captivating social media users who began playing daily.
