When Josh Wardle, a New York-based software engineer, first created Wordle during coronavirus lockdown, it seems unlikely he realized he was about to launch a global sensation.
Yet the game became wildly popular after it was released to the public in October 2021, and the following January was purchased by the New York Times for an undisclosed seven-figure sum.
Speaking to Newsweek earlier that month Wardle admitted that, despite having invented Wordle, he sometimes still struggled with the game.
The New Yorker said: “Well, I did create Wordle and I’m not very good at it, so there’s your answer! I’m afraid I’m not really the best.
“[My partner] and I play it on the couch together each morning. She will consistently get it in three goes, which is way, way better than I can ever hope to achieve. I normally need at least four or five attempts.”
Speaking to Newsweek Erhan Aslan, associate professor of applied linguistics at the University of Reading in the U.K., argued social media played a key role in Wordle’s rapid growth in popularity.
He said: “In today’s digital age, like many other things, many simple games like Wordle can be played online. I think that Wordle gains its popularity not only from its simple rules but also from its virality on social media platforms as a result of people sharing/posting their scores to demonstrate a sense of accomplishment and validation.”
