☆ Move over New York Times, now LinkedIn is adding brain-busting games
  + stars: | 2024-05-01 | by ( Jordan Valinsky | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
New York CNN —Watch out “Connections,” LinkedIn says it’s adding a variety of games aimed at making actual connections. The Microsoft-owned platform, best known for professional networking and sharing news, is taking a page from the New York Times and adding three, free “thinking-oriented” games as a way to tap into the explosive popularity of brain-busting puzzles people are adding to their daily routine. People share articles less to push advice on people and more because “they’re trying to build meaningful relationships,” Daniel Roth, editor in chief of LinkedIn, told CNN. “We’ve seen that with the recent explosion of short games that help you.”What are the games? Ultimately, Times’ games have become a major revenue driver for the newspaper.

☆ Inside the world of Wordle at the New York Times
  + stars: | 2024-03-14 | by ( Saira Mueller | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +13 min
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.

☆ Tracy Bennett Brings Whimsy to Wordle
  + stars: | 2023-12-31 | by ( Emmett Lindner | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Times Insider explains who we are and what we do, and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together. When Tracy Bennett sits down to play Wordle, she does so with a word of six — not five — letters in mind: Whimsy. “I got one green letter and four gray letters,” she adds, referring to the game’s color-coded squares that signify which guessed letters are correct. Some may find the exercise meritless — Ms. Bennett does, after all, already know the answer. As Wordle’s first and only editor, she knows every answer to every Wordle puzzle about six weeks in advance.

☆ HQ Trivia imploded fast but its legacy lives on

But like HQ Trivia, these efforts rarely seem to last. Video Ad Feedback What is HQ Trivia 02:32 - Source: CNNThe short life of HQ TriviaTwice a day, for 30 minutes, the world stopped as players watched one or more people receive what could be a significant amount of money instantaneously on HQ Trivia – and viewers had their own shot at the pot, too. Unlike HQ Trivia, however, Wordle does not require its users to share that experience at the exact same moment in the day. BeReal may arguably be HQ Trivia’s most lasting legacy, despite it not being a trivia game. The aim is different – creating authenticity – but like HQ Trivia, it prompts users to be in the moment.
☆ Changes are coming to Wordle
  + stars: | 2022-11-09 | by ( Frank Pallotta | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +1 min
New York CNN Business —Changes are coming for Wordle … again. It will, instead, include words that the New York Times has chosen. Also changing: The answer will never be a plural that ends in “s” or “es.” However, you can guess plural words to help you eliminate possible words. What solvers choose to use as guess words is their private choice.”The Times bought Wordle for “low seven figures” earlier this year. It’s a part of the Times’ portfolio of online games that includes the Crossword and Spelling Bee.
