Wordle has been one of the biggest gaming crazes on the internet since the daily word game took the web by storm earlier this year. The game's massive presence on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook saw it reach near-universal popularity, being purchased in a landmark seven-figure deal by The New York Times. The word game has also inspired a plethora of similar games bringing their own spin to the daily word puzzles. Now, Hasbro and The New York Times have revealed that Wordle is taking its literary gameplay to a physical format.

Since Wordle's debut in October of last year, plenty of Wordle-like games have looked to capitalize on the success of the game's daily word puzzles. Games like Quordle and Wordle Unlimited have brought more advanced versions of Wordle's formula, tasking players with solving multiple words or giving players access to the backlog of daily puzzles. Some like GuessTheGame and Heardle have brought different challenges entirely using images or music. Now, Hasbro has revealed Wordle: The Party Game as the puzzle game's first official spinoff.
