Wordle has become a worldwide sensation with millions of players every day trying to solve the latest puzzle.
With Wordle’s popularity showing little sign of slowing down,creator Josh Wardle has admitted he had no idea his game would be such a hit.
Wardle previously told Newsweek that he invented Wordle during the coronavirus lockdown as something “for me and my partner to enjoy.”
Wordle quickly went from having a handful of players in October 2021, to a player base of millions.
Its popularity led The New York Times to buy the game for an undisclosed seven-figure sum in January 2022. Wordle remains free to play via the publication’s website.
Part of Wordle’s success could be due to its simplicity as the game uses a color-coded system that is easy to figure out.
In Wordle, a green tile means the letter is correct and in the right place, while yellow indicates it is correct but in the wrong position. A gray tile tells the player the letter is not in the answer.
Players then have to solve the five-letter word within six attempts or fewer.
The answer to today’s puzzle will be revealed at the end of this article, so scroll down carefully if you want a few tips and not the answer itself.
