Thanks to “Wordle” inventor, Josh Wardle, we have the most addicting and educational game to play every day. The software engineer spoke at a presentation in 2024 to discuss his career as a game creator. Josh also explained why he chose to sell his innovation to The New York Times.
“It was a very clear decision for me to make to sell the game,” Josh said, according to The Verge. “It was obvious due to the success of ‘Wordle’ that I could make my life if I wanted to. But there are a bunch of things that I wouldn’t enjoy about running a games business. And it just felt so clear to me that that wasn’t something I wanted any part of.”
Josh also recalled how he created “Wordle,” which began as a prototype in 2013 and developed during the COVID-19 pandemic. He said he was “trying to do something that was authentic to [him],” and that he wanted to “build something for someone that [he] loved. It just so happened a bunch of other people loved it.”
As for his advice to other creators, Josh suggested, “Don’t try to make ‘Wordle.’ Make the thing that you’re passionate about that is meaningful to you. And then everything else will follow from that.”
