Dordle

Created by Guilherme S. Töws, Dordle kept Wordle’s familiar five-letter structure but doubled the challenge. Instead of solving one puzzle in six tries, players now had to solve two puzzles in seven tries, with each guess applying to both. That single change transformed the experience, giving birth to a new sub-genre of word games. Dordle isn’t just a game—it’s part of a larger movement in digital puzzles. Online word games have become daily rituals for millions of people, much like crosswords or Sudoku. Dordle’s success shows how small variations can breathe new life into classic formats.
