Wordle is now a board game.
{Carla Rea] / [Via BBGI])Forget everything else - THIS is the biggest story in the news right now:
"The New York Times" just bought WORDLE! And now it probably won't be free anymore! They paid "low seven figures" for it, so that's - well - a lot!
They say they'll be adding it to their line-up of online word games soon, and it'll still be free at first. But it sounds like you'll eventually need a subscription to play it. BOOOOOO!!!!
If you don't know the back story, it really is cool. A software engineer in Brooklyn named Josh Wardle launched the game in October. He originally made it for his partner, because she loves word games so much. Then it exploded last month, and now MILLIONS play it every day. So it's definitely a big payday for him.
No specifics on when the change-over is happening, but it was still up at its regular website the last time I checked.
Remember though, if you can't play the official version, there are many knock-offs to fall back on.
