Wondering what all the fuss is about? Wordlewas created by Josh Wardle, a former Reddit engineer, as a present for his partner. It went super-viral in late 2021, and was bought by the New YorkTimesearlier this year for a hefty chunk of cash. We love to see a nerdboss win.
Has theTimesmade Wordleharder? Actually, they've been making it easier. As we've reported previously, it's the same old Wordle, with some "harder" words nixed from Wardle original list. If you wantit to be harder, you can always switch on Hard Mode, which means you can't make any guesses that don't have previously confirmed letters in them.
