Today's Wordle #672 Answer, Clues and Hints for Saturday, April 22 Game

Wordle has become a global sensation with millions of players worldwide since it was first released to the public in October 2021.

Creator Josh Wardle, a New York-based software developer, first developed the game during the COVID-19 lockdown.

The rules of the game are simple. Players are tasked with solving a new five letter word in six attempts or less using a color-coded grid.

A green tile indicates the letter chosen is correct and is in the right place, while a yellow one means the letter is in the word but in the wrong place. A gray tile means the letter is not in the word at all.

Wardle previously told Newsweek in January 2022 that despite inventing Wordle he sometimes struggles with the game.

He said: "Well, I did create Wordle and I'm not very good at it, so there's your answer. I'm afraid I'm not really the best.

"[My partner] and I play it on the couch together each morning. She will consistently get it in three goes, which is way, way better than I can ever hope to achieve. I normally need at least four or five attempts."

Wardle sold Wordle to the New York Times for an undisclosed seven-figure sum in early 2022.

Erhan Aslan, an associate professor of applied linguistics at the University of Reading in the U.K., previously told Newsweek that social media played an important role in Wordle's development into a global sensation.

He said: "Before the digital age, word puzzle games, particularly crossword puzzles, would usually appear in newspapers and magazines. People would do them while waiting for the bus or train, in the toilet, or just to kill time.

"In today's digital age, like many other things, many simple games like Wordle can be played online. I think that Wordle gains its popularity not only from its simple rules but also from its virality on social media platforms as a result of people sharing/posting their scores to demonstrate a sense of accomplishment and validation."
