Wordle is a word puzzle that gives players six chances to guess a five-letter word. Originally created by software engineer Josh Wardle and released to the public in 2021, the puzzle was acquired by The New York Times in 2022 after rising to huge popularity.

As Wordle nears its 1500th puzzle milestone, its influence on casual wordplay culture remains unmatched. Each day brings a new challenge, a new word, and for many, a new opportunity to test their wit against a global audience.
