The newspaper known for its word-based games is adding the latest internet craze to its stable of games.
The New York Times revealed that it has acquired the surprising word game hit Wordle. It makes sense. The newspaper has long been known for its iconic crossword puzzles and already maintains a stable of mostly word-based games. The surprising and meteoric rise of a new game right in its wheelhouse was likely too much to resist. Wordle was created by Brooklyn software engineer Josh Wardle and released to the public in October 2021. It provides users with six daily tries to guess a five-letter word. Each guess provides clues about how close the player is in the form of color-coded letters.
