Wordle Nyt, now the New York Times (NYT) Wordle, is a simple daily word-guessing game that became a global phenomenon. Launched in October 2021 by software engineer Josh Wardle as a private puzzle for friends and family, it quickly spread by word of mouth and social sharing. In January 2022 Wardle sold Wordle to the NYT, which preserved its free-to-play daily format while integrating it into the paper’s suite of puzzles.
