Wordle is a word-guessing game that went viral just a few months after its release. Created by Josh Wordle, it was bought by the New York Times (NYT) this year because of its lasting popularity.
NYT houses some of the best word games and crosswords that are played daily by thousands of people, and Wardle's game like a good fit. However, they planned to monetize it which went against the creator's intentions about his game. So, Wardle struck a deal with the NYT to keep the game unpaid and ad-free. It was officially acquired by NYT towards the end of January 2022.
Initially, fans were not supportive of the move and accused the news portal of making the game difficult, but the rumors were baseless. A spokesperson explained that they had no plans to change the game and are still following Wardle's word list.
The only change made by NYT is that they removed certain offensive and vague words from the word list to make the game inclusive and safe for players all around the world.
The truth is the game can be difficult at times. Even the easiest of words can be complicated to guess when you have nothing to go by. So, we post clues and hints for the solution daily to relieve you of the pressure.
