Wordle, the popular online word-guessing game from the New York Times, is now available to play as a 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. Amazon Wordle The Party Game $19.99 $13.99 Buy Now On Amazon First released for the holiday season last fall, the Wordle board game has been re-stocked online with new pricing: regularly $20+, Wordle: The Party Game is on sale for just $13.99 right now — a 30% discount. 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. Scoring is a little reversed: the fewer tries it takes a player to guess the word, the fewer points they score.
The player with the fewest points at the end of the game wins. While the web-based Wordle is designed for solo play, this physical version lets you play with up to three other people. And while the New York Times only releases one Wordle puzzle a day, the board game’s included dry-erase boards and markers let you play as many rounds as you want.
