Where did

Wordle

come from?

Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner,


Wordle


rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate

Wordle

versions created by fans also sprang up, including

battle royale


Squabble

, music identification game

Heardle

, and variations like

Dordle

and

Quordle

that make you guess multiple words at once.

Wordle

eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the

New York Times

, and

TikTok

creators even livestream themselves playing.

Not the day you’re after?

Here’s the

Wordle

answer for July 25.

What’s the best

Wordle

starting word?

The best

Wordle

starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you like being strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.

What happened to the

Wordle

archive?

The entire archive of past

Wordle

puzzles used to be available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it. Unfortunately, it has since been taken down, with the website’s creator stating it was done at the request of the

New York Times

.

Is

Wordle

getting harder?

It might feel like

Wordle

is getting harder, but it actually isn’t any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on

Wordle

‘s Hard Mode if you’re after more of a challenge, though.

Why are there two different

Wordle

answers some days?

Though usually

Wordle

will only accept one correct solution per day, occasionally it will rebel against the norm and deem two different answers acceptable. This is due to changes the

New York Times

made to

Wordle

after it acquired the puzzle game.

The

Times

has since added its own updated word list, so this should happen even less frequently than before. To avoid any confusion, it’s a good idea to refresh your browser before getting stuck into a new puzzle.

Here’s a subtle hint for today’s

Wordle

answer:

You have one. Even people who seem not to have one definitely have one.

Does today’s

Wordle

answer have a double letter?

is a 5-letter word that starts with…

Today’s

Wordle

starts with the letter H.
