Where did Wordle come from?
Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once.
Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.
What’s the best Wordle starting word?
The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.
What happened to the Wordle archive?
The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website’s creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.
Is Wordle getting harder?
It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn’t any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle‘s Hard Mode if you’re after more of a challenge, though.

What is Connections?
The NYT‘s latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications’ Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.
Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there’s only one correct answer.
If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.
Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

The Nintendo Switch may soon be welcoming a successor, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t still worth adding to your collection. Especially if that means picking up an excellent remake that’s a faithful love letter to the original. That’s the case with the Switch remake of the 2004 GameCube classic Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, which you can get right now at a great price.
As of Oct. 30, get Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for Nintendo Switch at Woot for $44.99. That’s $15 down from its normal price of $59.99 and a 25% discount. This is a physical edition, not a digital code, so you’ll have to wait for the game to be shipped to you to play.
This remake gives the original game a graphical makeover with new animations, music, and other changes to bring it in line with other, more modern games. It adds new boss encounters, fast travel, and a variety of other surprises for new and old fans alike. It follows Mario and Princess Peach on the search for some lost treasure when Peach is suddenly kidnapped. It might be hard to believe, but Mario has to head off on a journey to save her.
Okay, yes, so Mario has to rescue Peach, but this time it’s from a group of aliens. Except it’s not your average Mario game, but a rich and full-bodied RPG that you’ll absolutely love if you were a fan of the Nintendo 64 original Paper Mario or any of the follow-ups afterward. This is a great price to jump in with, or return to, if you experienced the GameCube original.
