Wordle

Wordle is a daily free word puzzle game owned and operated by the New York Times. Players have six attempts to guess a five-letter word on a tiled grid, with each guess indicating which letters are correct or incorrect using colored squares. Letters on the in-game keyboard are also color-coded similarly to help players keep track of which letters have been guessed. The puzzle refreshes at midnight local time all over the world, and the solution is the same for all players each day. Wordle was created by former Reddit engineer Josh Wardle for himself and his partner to play, before going viral worldwide in November 2021, leading the Times to buy it from Wardle in early 2022 for their Puzzles section.
