An update on Wordle

Since launching Wordle, I’ve been in awe of the response and the game has gotten bigger than I ever imagined.

On the flip side, it has been a little overwhelming. I am just one person, and it is important to me that, as Wordle grows, it continues to provide a great experience to everyone.

Given this, I am incredibly pleased to announce that I’ve reached an agreement with The New York Times for them to take over running Wordle going forward. If you’ve followed along with the story of Wordle, you’ll know that NYT games play a big part in its origins and so this step feels natural to me.

I’ve long admired the NYT’s approach to their games and the respect with which they treat their players. Their values are aligned with mine on these matters and I’m thrilled that they will be stewards of the game moving forward.

When the game moves to the NYT site, it will be free to play for everyone, and I am working with them to make sure your wins and streaks are preserved.

Thank you all.

Hey, killjoys: NYT is the best newspaper in the country, maybe the world. They can’t stay good by making the paper free. NYT told

they would keep it free. How about you congratulate Josh and extend a little faith?

If the

is the best paper in the country, that tells us a lot about the sad state of journalism in America. Slanted and biased. My little hometown newspaper is far better.

Well this fucking sucks. You said it would be free to play for everyone yet... "The company said the game would initially remain free to new and existing players." nytimes.com/2022/01/31/bus

I just wanna know how Wordle is being bought and praised like some sort of brilliant creation, when it was all blatantly ripped off from a game show that’s over 30 years old… lol youtu.be/DbgD4rIr9oM
