Wordle New York Times: Your Guide to #1,183 and Beyond
Wordle #1,183 Game Overview
It's finally the weekend, but that doesn't mean your Wordle winning streak has to end. This utmost popular brainteaser was crafted by Josh Wardle, a Welsh-born software engineer based in New York City. He perfected Wordle during the COVID-19 lockdowns before releasing it to the public in October 2021.
Explosive Growth & Popularity
After its public debut, Wordle exploded from 90 users on November 1, 2021, to an astounding 300,000 on January 2, 2022, according to Statista. The New York Times acquired it for an undisclosed seven-figure fee, soon making it their most popular game.
Gameplay Mechanics
- Players have six chances to guess a five-letter word.
- Each attempt provides clues to help narrow down the correct answer.
- Color-coded feedback: green for correct and well-placed letters, yellow for the right letters in the wrong spots, and gray for letters not in the word.
Accessibility & Archive
Another key aspect of Wordle’s appeal is its accessibility. The game is web-based, requires no downloads, and is completely free to play. If you're hungry for more challenges, the New York Times now allows subscribers access to over 1,000 past puzzles from the official Wordle archive on the web and in the NYT Games app.
