Wordle is a daily, browser-only word game that we can't get enough of, so it's not surprising that Wordle copycats have been popping up in the App Store. The first people to use that name were the ones who did the copying. Five years ago, Steven Cravotta used "wordle" for the first time. He's using his app's popularity to help others.
He wrote in a thread that he built his Wordle when he was 18. He stopped promoting and updating it because it hadn't taken off. The app only averaged one or two downloads per week for the four years since.
He said he was "sHOOK at what I saw" after logging into his dashboard.

Cravotta assumed that bots were behind the spike, but then searched to find out about Wordle. He said that Cravotta's Wordle has gotten 200,000 downloads in the last week.
The developer of the current app Puff Count reached out to Wordle founder Josh Wardle and they agreed to donate proceeds to the charity. West Oakland is a children's tutoring and mentoring program.

Cravotta was excited to support the program that focuses on literacy for youth. The money will make a difference here.
