According to the New York Times, players will also be able to save their stats and streaks with a free New York Times account, allowing them to pick up where they left off on any device.
Wordle now joins New York Times Games’s other puzzles, the publisher added, like The Crossword, The Mini and Spelling Bee, in the Crossword app. Free to download, the app offers puzzles for every level so that solvers can steadily improve their skills.
Wordle was released to the public in October 2021, and became a daily obsession for solvers. The Times Company acquired the guessing game in early 2022.
As of the end of July 2022, the publisher continued, 10% of active players have played 145 or more games of Wordle.
The publisher says that Wordle is the latest addition to The Times’s portfolio of word and logic games since the launch of The Crossword in 1942. In 2014, The Times introduced The Mini Crossword — followed by Spelling Bee, Letter Boxed, Tiles and Vertex — offering puzzles for all skill levels.
New York Times Games also recently announced a collaboration with Hasbro to bring Wordle to life in a new board game, Wordle: The Party Game, which will be available in North America for purchase in October. The game is currently available for pre-order.
Along with desktop and mobile web, Wordle is also available to play within the core New York Times news app.
