After the New York Times acquired Wordle from its creator, software engineer Josh Wardle, in January 2022, its player base grew to tens of millions.
The New York Times assigned a dedicated editor for Wordle, Tracy Bennett, in November 2022.
“You’re even going to be able to play Wordles that predate the New York Times acquisition, which is really fun,” Knight told CNN.
What Wordle has done for the New York TimesAside from the editorial strategy, Wordle fits perfectly into the Times’ business plans.
For Donna Cona, who has played it since before the Times acquisition, Wordle has become her go-to thing each morning.
