Today’s ‘Wordle’ #875 Tips, Clues and Answer for Saturday, November 11 Game

When Josh Wardle, a New York-based software engineer, first invented Wordle during coronavirus lockdown, he was simply trying to create a game “for me and my partner to enjoy.”

Despite these humble origins, Wordle quickly developed into a viral sensation after being released to the public in October 2021. A passionate fan base developed across the world, some of whom took to social media each day to share tips and their results.

Such was Wordle‘s popularity that Wardle was able to sell it to The New York Times in January 2022 for an undisclosed low seven-figure sum, though the game remains free for its users.

In an interview with Newsweek, Joel C. Wallenberg, a senior lecturer in language change at the University of York in the U.K., said Wordle‘s appeal is linked to the longstanding human interest in language.

Wallenberg said: “Language always seems to be fascinating to people. This is perhaps because producing and understanding language is a fantastically complex process, and we are only aware of the tiniest bit of that process while it’s going on. Most of what we do when we speak, we do unconsciously.

“Language games poke at how conscious (or unconscious) we are of our own linguistic processes, and maybe give us a little more insight into them than we had before. That might be one reason why humans, maybe universally, have always invented and enjoyed language games!” Wallenberg added.
