In the popular game Wordle, correct letters in the daily word puzzle are green. Incorrect are gray. Letters that are in the word, but in the wrong order, are yellow. The New York Times on Friday marked its 1,000th daily offering of the its web-based word game, which took off in popularity in October 2021 — even before the company bought it from software engineer Josh Wardle from Brooklyn, N.Y., in early 2022, for a price the Times says was in "the low-seven figures.
The Times has been sending takedown notices to the creators of some of the Wordle-inspired games, citing copyright infringement, and is turning its focus on the website GitHub, where developers publicly share their code. The news company first got in touch with the website in early January in its campaign to stop copycats.
It's been a year since the New York Times bought Wordle. Writer and game developer David Shariatmadari helps Elamin look back on the game's success as well as preview a new brain teaser for word sleuths. He said he has played 747 games so far and has a winning streak of 119, with an overall win percentage of 99 per cent. The game keeps track of a player's statistics over time.
