The New York Times has acquired Wordle, a website-only word game that has seen a recent burst in popularity, for an undisclosed price "in the low seven figures".

Its creator, former Reddit software engineer Josh Wardle, says the game will "be free to play for everyone" when it moves home.

However, the NYT statement, armed with a careful caveat, was a little less convincing.

Wordle will “initially remain free to new and existing players”, the company says.

“As part of our portfolio of games, Wordle will have an exciting future with the help of a team of talented engineers, designers, editors and more, furthering the user experience.”
I saw that earlier today. If they make it paid or anything, that won't do much. I don't see the point of buying it. Although I'm happy for the guy! $$$

There's already a million clones of that game, like Lewdle. It's Wordle with NSFW words. lol
