Wordle beat out terms like “Election results” and “Jeffrey Dahmer” in the United States (the second- and tenth-most popular terms, respectively) and “Ukraine” and “Queen Elizabeth” globally (third and fourth).
Wordle was the most-searched term on Google search in 2022, both in the United States and across the world, according to the Google Trends Year in Search roundup. The game beat out terms like “Election results” and “Jeffrey Dahmer” in the United States and “Ukraine” and “Queen Elizabeth” globally .“This really became a shared obsession for everyone and you can see that in the data,” Simon Rogers, trends data team lead at Google, told The Washington Post.
The game became a viral hit in late 2021 after players started sharing cryptic emoji square arrangements along with a snippet of text on social media, prompting others to ask: “I would say what made Wordle trend higher was that it was something that consistently captivated people throughout the year,” Rogers said. “There were moments within the year such as the invasion of Ukraine and the passing of Her Majesty the Queen where those terms spiked much higher. But people’s love for the game remained consistent, because for many people, the game has been a daily highlight or pick-me-up.
