Wordle is celebrating a major milestone, as the popular online word-guessing game from the New York Times recently released its 1000th puzzle. As part of the #Wordle1000 celebrations, the newspaper released a list of the five hardest Wordles to solve, sharing both the puzzle number and players’ success rate.
The web-based guessing game has taken the world by storm since launching in October 2021. Created by Welsh software engineer Josh Wardle, it was later sold to the New York Times for a price in the “low seven figures” in early 2022. Now, Wordle is available to play off-line as well, with a number of Wordle books and even a Wordle board game.
Hasbro, maker of popular games like Monopoly and Clue, have introduced Wordle: The Party Game. Inspired by the digital version of the guessing game, the board game plays like a cross between Scrabble and Hangman, with players taking turns to guess the “secret word” in less than six tries. First released for the holiday season last fall, the Wordle board game has been re-stocked online with new pricing, bringing it under $20.
This new version of Wordle is designed for 2-4 players with a recommended age of 14 and up. Each player takes a turn as “host” to write down the “secret word.” It’s then up to the other players to guess. The included dry-erase boards let players jot down their guesses, while the “host” uses green and yellow tiles to let people know whether they’ve matched any letters.
