New York Times and Hasbro to release Wordle board game

The New York Times and Hasbro are teaming up to create a Wordle Board Game. Based off the hit online world puzzle, "Wordle: The Party Game," will be available for purchase in October. 

The game was first created by Brooklyn-based software engineer Josh Wardle in October 2021 as a gift to his wife, according to The New York Times.  Following a pandemic craze that skyrocketed daily users into the millions, the Times acquired the popular word game for an amount in the "low seven figures." 

Now, Wordle will take yet another form as a collaborative board game, where players can compete together and in real life.
