While the premise for the puzzle game is relatively simple, it can push even the most seasoned Wordle veteran at times with its brain-busting challenges.
Players use a color-coded system to work out a five-letter word and they have six attempts to get the right answer.
When a word is submitted, each word tile will flip to reveal a color that indicates how close the player is to solving the puzzle.
A green tile means the letter is in the correct position, a yellow tile shows the letter is correct, but in the incorrect place, while a gray tile indicates the letter isn’t in the word at all.
Wardle previously told Newsweek that he was stunned to learn that the puzzle game had become popular in New Zealand.
He said: “For obvious reasons, Wordle has mostly been popular in English-speaking countries. After all, it is a language-based game. When it launched, it actually took hold in New Zealand first.
“The Twittersphere over there is quite small, so everyone tends to be rather interconnected. That means if one person shares something, a lot of others are likely to see it as well, which is how Wordle gained such momentum.”
Wordle has since gone on to have a number of celebrity fans, including U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and TV personality Jimmy Fallon.
