TIL that Wordle was created by a guy named Josh Wardle (heh) & the code was open source. (Previously, he was also the guy who created the infamous Reddit /place!) Anyway, he made Wordle for friends & fam, they shared it and it went viral, he then sold to NYT for 6 figs despite the code being OS— you love to see it!

Was it open source (licensed)? I thought it was just simple js that you could download and run yourself, so source available

Ah, that may be the case. But yeah it was available and was cloned many times as a result.
