Good newsWordlefans: your favorite daily puzzle is being made into a board game!
Hasbro andThe New York Times, whichacquiredthe game back in January for a “undisclosed price in the low-seven figures,” announced on Thursday that they’ll be debuting a new way to Wordle later this year.
Wordle: The Party Game"delivers classic Wordle gameplay, but now in an all new way that is perfect for game night with friends and family," according to apress release.
“In each round, a player designated as the Wordle Host, writes down a Secret Word. Just like the original Wordle game, players have six attempts to guess a five-letter word. But in this game, players are competing against others,” per the press release, noting that the goal is to be the player with the fewest points at the end of the game.
To make things even more fun, unlike in the digital version, there’s no limit to the amount of times a day you can play!
“Wordle: The Party Gamecan be played repeatedly with the included dry-erase Wordle boards and markers,” the press release states. “Players can also switch up the gameplay with four different ways to Wordle: classic play, fast, timed, or teams.”
To complete the authentic Wordle experience, the board game also comes with two sets of colored squares — with green squares indicating that a letter is in the correct space, while the yellow squares signify that the letter is right, just not in the right spot.
Hasboro Gaming’s Senior Vice President and General Manager said the idea for a board game was sparked from seeing “how much fun people were having posting the results on social media.”
