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 require guessing multiple words at once. Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, with creators even livestreaming their gameplay.

What's the best Wordle starting word? The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. However, for a more strategic approach, we have a few ideas to help you select a word that might lead you to the solution faster.
