In one of the most obvious cash grabs we’ve seen in a while, Hasbro and New York Times Games are making Wordle: The Party Game, the board game version of the hit puzzle game. If you’ve been living under a rock, Wordle is the online guessing game where you try to identify a five-letter word with clues revealed after every attempt.
The game quickly went viral last year as Twitter grew filled with people flexing their results in a never-ending feed of gray, yellow, and green boxes. Eventually, The New York Times Company acquired Wordle from its original creator, Josh Wardle, thereby making it thoroughly uncool. At least it’s still free-to-play though.
