Daily Word-Guessing Game Goes Viral

Wordle is a popular daily online game where players guess a different five-letter word each day in six tries or less.
Josh Wardle, a software engineer, created Wordle in 2021, and it became an international phenomenon with over 45 million players.
Players receive color-coded feedback to help them figure out the secret word, with a new puzzle releasing each day at midnight.
The New York Times Company bought the rights to Wordle for an undisclosed amount earlier this year.
Fans find ways to make the simple yet challenging game more difficult and have created other inspired word-guessing games.
