The Game Boy is the ancestor of modern gaming devices including smartphones and it was introduced in 1989. The handheld device has seen several iterations and it still maintains its presence in the gaming segment to date. The Wordle word game has now been ported into Game Boy, bringing a vocabulary of up to 8,000 of the most popular English words.
The full version of the game cannot be incorporated into Game Boy due to the handheld’s limited ROM size. However, the new version of the Wordle game has now been incorporated as an abridged word list unlike the general version of the game. The game was ported into Game Boy by Kotaku notes security researcher Stackmashing who used some filtering mechanism to determine popular English words up to 8,000.

The procedure for having the device on your Game Boy includes downloading the game and loading it into a compatible cartridge that could then be used to play the game. Not much of the Nintendo iconic Game Boy is available and it could be stressful getting it into the console itself. So Wordle lovers can get the game from other devices which are easily accessible. The game has been adapted to several other applications like Palm PDA and there seems to be a direct plan to make it a ubiquitous game.
