The New York Times has acquired Wordle, the explosively popular game that gives players six chances to guess a five-letter word daily.
ABC News' Will Ganss explains the word game that's becoming an internet obsession, and why it was created.
"The Times remains focused on becoming the essential subscription for every English-speaking person seeking to understand and engage with the world. New York Times Games are a key part of that strategy," according to the statement."Wordle will now play a part in that daily experience, giving millions more people around the world another reason to turn to The Times to meet their daily news and life needs.
Josh Wardle, a Brooklyn-based software engineer formerly at Reddit, released the game in October 2021, and it quickly became a cultural phenomenon. Millions of people now play Wordle every day, according to the Times. In a statement released on Twitter Monday, Wardle wrote of the game's success,"I'd be lying if I said this hasn't been a little overwhelming. After all, I am just one person, and it is important to me that, as Wordle grows, it continues to provide a great experience to everyone."
