"The newspaper publisher said the game would initially remain free to play"

I added the bold. Looks like they will be thinking about charging for it.

As in life it seems like if it's fun you end up having to pay for it...

I hope the sale to the New York Times doesn’t spoil the game.

Now that NYT have bought it, I guess I'd better crack on through the archive while I can. Currently on 38 not out.

But, a seven figure sum for a game designed for a target audience of 1?? Now that ain't a bad days work ...

Not something I will be paying for.

Bit annoyed it took 4 when I got 2 right on the first go.

Absolutely not, I already have a phone app that is essentially the exact same game.

The guy had a simple idea that appears to be a global hit. I don't resent him making his fortune from selling it. Hopefully, NYT will sharpen it up and allow more than one new word per day.
I don't mind paying £1.99 for the IG app. I'll probably be willing to pay similar for this.

Even though the Wordus app already exists and is free?

Good ideas put into effect deserve reward. I can afford a couple of quid if it exercises my brain when it's otherwise in neutral.

Paying for an app when an identical version exists for free doesn't sound like exercising the brain to me.

Why do some people get an asterisk in theirs? Anyone know? It's been bugging me.

While its understandable he has been overwhelmed I cannot help but think that Wordle will end up behind a paywall

Love the idea of a simple idea becoming a payday.. even though it was never intended that way. He can ride into the sunset..

It might be that you only get access if you subscribe to the NYT.
