New Online Game “Wordle” Takes Over the Internet
Written by Site Hub on January 13, 2022
If you’ve been on Twitter in the past day or so, you’ve might have seen the word “wordle” thrown around. This new simple word game is the newest phenomenon. Here’s how ‘Wordle’ works; the task is to guess a five-letter word in six tries. After each guess, the tiles change colors to show which letters are not in the word (gray), which letters are in the word but in the wrong position (yellow) and which ones are correctly in the word and in the right position (green).
The new game craze was created by software engineer Josh Wardle, who made Wordle (a riff on his name) originally for his partner, Palak Shah, who is a fan of word games. Shah also helped with some of the development. Wardle stated: “Making Wordle I specifically rejected a bunch of the things you’re supposed to do for a mobile game…It going viral doesn’t feel great, to be honest. I feel a sense of responsibility for the players. I feel I really owe it to them to keep things running and make sure everything’s working correctly.”
