Wordle will be turned into a board game by the New York Times. Wordle: The Party Game will be released in North America in October. Pre-order it on Amazon for $19.99, and it will arrive in time for Halloween.
The offline version of Wordle tries to recreate the same experience as the online version but also pits you against other players.

The Wordle Host writes down a secret word in each round. Players have six tries to guess a five-letter word. The New York Times said in a press release that players are competing against one another.
The more tries a player has, the less points they get. The player with the lowest score at the end of the game is the winner. For those who have always wanted more Wordle than you can get in the online format, the board game has a distinct advantage.
The New York Times announced last week that players will be able to link their Wordle online game statistics to their NYT accounts.
The creator of Wordle, Josh Wardle, sold the rights to Wordle to the New York Times. According to Wardle, close to 2 million players were playing the game. The game had been mentioned in more than 30 million tweets since it was launched in October, with a peak of over half a million a day in December.
The NYT made the game their own. In the first quarter of 2022, tens of millions of users visited the firm's website. While playing Wordle remains free, NYT said it saw a record quarter for its $5 a month NYT Games service, which includes titles like The Crossword and The Spelling Bee, in terms of net subscriber addition.
Wordle has had an effect on other games. Heardle is a song guessing game that has been acquired by the streaming service.
