Developed by Josh Wardle, a software engineer based in Brooklyn, the game was originally a gift for his girlfriend who loved word games. Originally intended for the couple’s own enjoyment during the COVID-19 lockdowns, Wardle soon recognized its wider appeal and launched Wordle online in October 2021.
