History

Historical Context

Josh Wardle released Wordle in October 2021 as a personal, daily-puzzle web game. The emoji-share feature sparked viral growth, reaching over 300,000 daily players and 1.2 million Twitter posts by January 2022, prompting The New York Times to buy the low-seven-figure-priced game that month. The acquisition cemented a broader shift toward minimalist, shareable word puzzles across media.
