Wordle is turning into a board game. Wordle, which was purchased by the New York Times earlier this year, will become a physical game later this year.

Wordle rose to prominence due to the fact that everyone was sharing their results on social media. A Wordle puzzle can be solved by a single person. Wordle becomes a group activity in the party game.

A player thinks of a five-letter word that other players have to guess. The word-thinker will slide translucent yellow and green tiles over correct letters if people guess correctly. Once a round is over, you can wipe the boards clean by using dry-erase markers on small dry-erase boards.

In this video, you can see how it will work.

Wordle: The Party Game may be difficult to play in person. Having to put the tiles over the letters seems like it would be a lot of work. It is gratifying to guess a word before your friends do. Isn't that part of what made us brag about our online Wordle results on social media?

You can pre-order Wordle: The Party Game on Thursday for $19. The game will ship on October 1st according to the website, but it is subject to change.
