Ever wonder what the Wordle word of the day is? The game challenges players to think critically and use their problem-solving skills to guess the correct word. While Wordle provides clues, they’re not always easy to interpret.
According to The New York Times, the web-based game gives players six attempts to guess a five-letter word. During those attempts, tiles change color to provide hints: Green, the letter is in the word and in the correct position. Yellow, the letter is in the word but in the wrong position. Gray, the letter is not in the word at all.
Wordle was created by Josh Wardle and is now hosted by The New York Times. According to Time Magazine, Wardle shared his motivation for creating the game: “That was never the goal, really, to make money.” He added, “The goal was to make a game that my partner would enjoy playing. What’s interesting is, people ask me all the time about the monetization stuff. Like, ‘You could put ads on it, You could do premium.’ And I don’t know, maybe I’m an idiot. None of that really appeals to me. I think because I started with the intention of not doing it, it’s been easy to say no. If I’d been trying to make a viral game I think it would be very different.”
