Wordle Creator: Twilio Salutes You With An SMS-Based Tribute

What's this blog post about?

Twilio has created a Wordle-like game called Twordle that can be played over SMS, and it's a tribute to Josh Wardle, the creator of the original Wordle. The game works similarly to the original, with users guessing five-letter words and receiving feedback in the form of colored tiles. Players can text a "?" to receive instructions and learn more about Josh, or start playing after the first message. After five guesses, players can try again with a new random word from a dictionary file containing over 2500 options. Twilio celebrates builders like Josh Wardle, who created Wordle as a gift for his partner, and invites users to build their own Twordle using Twilio's SMS or serverless solutions.
