Enjoy it whilst it lasts folks. NYT have just bought it for "a 7 figure sum"
I don't expect it will stay this side of their paywall for long.....

That was my first reaction when I read your post but according to James Wardle it will still be available. I can't though imagine myself registering etc. with NYT. We shall see.......

Seems we are all finding it easier today. :laugh:
Yes! First word eliminated some key letters but gave me the first letter, second guess was a bit lucky using remaining key letters.

You can't really blame him although I do wonder how much effort running Wordle really is. Now he's set it all up doesn't it just run itself? Anyway, seven figures is pretty good although they really should have offered him five.

I completely agree and good luck to the guy. A beautifully simple game which I enjoy for a few minutes every day. It will be interesting to see how NYT handle this. I don't like ads in games and I'm happy to pay a reasonable fee for an ad free version in the way I to use CC. I have 4-5 I'm happy to pay a small fee to use. Hopefully NYT will do something of this sort.

I fully expect to lose interest and stop playing but that's how these things go. They get popular for a bit and everyone plays, then after a while a few people carry on and everyone else moves to other things.
