Wordle fans accuse the New York Times of making viral game ‘too hard’

last month that they’d purchased Wordle — in which players have six guesses to determine one new word each day — from creator Josh Wardle on Jan. 31 for an “undisclosed” seven-figure sum.
They then migrated the digital scrabble spin-off to their website.However, many fans were disappointed with the new iteration, which they thought had gotten exponentially more difficult since the takeover.“Ever since NYTimes bought Wordle, the game got a lil too hard,” lamented one disillusioned Wordle player on Twitter. “I ain’t playing no more.
this embarrassing score.” “I had to use two diff browsers for extra guess and still barely got the word,” they added. “The New York Times deciding that everyone’s day needed a little more stress by upping the Wordle stakes,” seconded another critic of the paper, which coincidentally boasts arguably the hardest crossword puzzle of any publication.Another fumed, “Good morning to everyone except all of the staff at the New York Times, their families, friends, pets and acquaintances.““The nyt made wordle too hard i feel stupid now,” wrote another puzzled player, while another snarked, “Today’s Wordle should be used to punish war criminals, that was so hard.”Despite the cavalcade of criticism, the New York Times claims they didn’t monkey with the vocab game.“Nothing has changed about the gameplay,” communications director Jordan Cohen told The Guardian in an email.Nonetheless, this isn’t the first time Wordlers have been disappointed with the puzzle post-takeover.
‘Page One’ Film Review: Doc Reveals New York Times’ Digital Dilemma
This review of “Page One” was first published on January 24, 2011 after the film’s premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. It’s kind of weird for me to watch “Page One,” a year-long chronicle of my former colleagues on the media desk of The New York Times and their struggle to produce journalism in this most challenging of times.The film, which starts around the time I started TheWrap in 2009 after having left the paper, is kind of like watching the conversation continue in the room after you’ve walked out.On the one hand, the film directed by Andrew Rossi does an able job of documenting the critically important role that the Times continues to play in news-gathering and dissemination – and why it can be so damn exciting to be there.On the other hand, the film gives a rather superficial assessment of what everybody really wants to know: Will the Times make it, or not? Can the newspaper of record change fast enough, dramatically enough, to adjust to an upside-down business model?That he doesn’t answer.In 2008, the Times cut 100 jobs, borrowed $250 million and re-leased its building. In 2009, it cut another 100 jobs.It is distinctly odd to hear someone say on film exactly what I felt at that tie: “The mood is funereal.” And, I might have added, not conducive to doing great journalism.The team on which he focuses includes heroically smart and dedicated journalists – David Carr, Brian Stelter, Bruce Headlam (proud to say I’ve worked with two of them, hope one day to work with the third) who make up much of the media desk.The challenge of the media desk is even more profound – to chronicle the potential demise of an industry of which you are a part.
