Part of Wordle’s appeal is its simplicity, meaning newcomers can quickly pick up the game and play very close to the level of a seasoned veteran.

The rules are simple, players have six attempts to work out the five letter word using a color-coded system that tells them how close they are to getting the answer.

If the letter is green then it is correct and in the right place, if the tile turns yellow then the letter is correct, but in the wrong place whilst gray indicates it is not in the word at all.

The game’s creator Josh Wardle, originally from the U.K. but now living in New York, explained why his game is based on five-letter words.

He told Newsweek: “There is a reason that every word is 5 letters long and that you are allowed six attempts to guess it. That might seem arbitrary but, with the prototype version, I tested different word lengths and experimented with the number of tries that players were allowed.

“Through that process of refinement, I figured out that five letters and six tries was the ideal sweet spot. It’s just limited enough to feel challenging and to make you think, but most of the time people still manage to solve it. So, you feel a real sense of real accomplishment.”

In January, The New York Times swooped in to buy Wordle for an undisclosed seven-figure sum, although it remains free to play.

Wordle has gone on to inspire several other puzzle games, including the map-based Worldle and math-based Nerdle.
